This was added in PR 4470, but doesn't appear to have been used since.
While it's certainly easy to understand how this was helpful during development of that PR, actually providing this hash parameter isn't going to work anymore given that the original CMap files were also removed from the repository.
I suppose that the hash parameter *could* be useful if you'd attempt to update the BCMap files, however that hasn't been attempted even once in over *five* years time. Furthermore, at this point using the `AppOptions` directly in that situation should also work fine.
All in all, this seems like a piece of old and unused code which we can simply remove now.
By using the same internal formatting here as in the `Ref.toString` method, in `src/core/primitives.js`, all cache-keys will become at least two bytes shorter (and most three bytes shorter).
Obviously this won't have a huge effect on memory since there's only one cache entry per page, but it nonetheless seems wasteful to use longer keys than strictly required.
Firefox telemetry supports using string labels now. Convert our integers
that we used for categories to just use strings.
The upstream work will happen in:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1566882
Currently the indicator may remain visible even after the document has been closed, which seems weird given that no page is either visible nor rendering :-)
Ensure that setting the `zoomDisabledTimeout` isn't skipped, regardless of the supported zoom keys, when handling mouse wheel events (PR 7097 follow-up)
*Possible follow-up:* It probably wouldn't hurt to try and shorten the `supportedMouseWheelZoomModifierKeys` name a bit, but I'm not attempting that here since it'd also require updating `PdfStreamConverter.jsm` in mozilla-central in order to be consistent.
Since calling `getDocument` with a `PDFDataRangeTransport` argument will always unconditionally override a manually provided `length` argument, see a1a667809f/src/display/api.js (L390-L394), this patch should thus be safe.
This functionality is very old, and pre-dates e.g. the introduction of the `EventBus` by a number of years. Rather than attaching two callback functions to every single `PDFPageView` instance, it's thus now possible to utilize the `EventBus` such that you only need a grand total of two listeners to achieve the same result.
For the `onAfterDraw` callback the replacement is particularly simple, given that a 'pagerendered' event is already being dispatched in the appropriate spot. An added benefit here is the ability to remove the event listener, since we only ever care about *one* (arbitrary) page being rendered for the `BaseViewer.onePageRendered` promise.
For the `onBeforeDraw` callback, a new 'pagerender' event was thus added to replace the callback.
Given that this special-case only matters for the Firefox PDF viewer, it's probably better to just move it into `firefoxcom.js` instead to reduce unnecessary confusion.
Similar to the `zoomReset` method we need to ensure that this code won't run for zoom events originating within the browser UI itself, since checks in e.g. the `keydown` event handler won't help in that case.
When searching occurs for the first time in a document, the `textContent` of all pages will be fetched from the API. If there's a pending search operation when the document loads that will thus lead to a lot of `getTextContent` calls very early on, which may unnecessarily delay rendering of the first page. Generally, in the viewer, a number of non-essential API calls[1] will be deferred until the first page has been rendered, and there's no good reason as far as I can tell to handle searching differently.

[1] Such as e.g. `getOutline` and `getAttachments`.
Unless the `PDFLinkService` instance contains all of the expected methods, a lot of things will break in various places in the default viewer. Hence there's not much value in having this check, and outright falling seems more appropriate.
Finally, this also makes the return value explicit in this case, since that's consistent with the rest of the `PDFFindController._shouldDirtyMatch` method.
As have already been stated multiple times, simply increasing the printing resolution may have undesirable effects on both memory usage *and* general performance. Hence why PR 10854 did *not* add a preference, and only exposed AppOption by default in `GENERIC` builds for now.
However, considering how differently printing works in the built-in Firefox version (with `mozPrintCallback`) compared to the general default viewer, any testing done in the latter case might not be completely relevant to the first (and most important) case of the Firefox PDF Viewer.
Note that considering the implementation of `AppOptions.get`, this patch will be safe and should allow experimenting with `printResolution` in all builds of the default viewer[1]. By not, however, having `printResolution` appear in AppOptions for either the `MOZCENTRAL` or `CHROMIUM` build targets, there should be no indication of official support for now.
Furthermore, it shouldn't be a preference at this point in time (or even at all), since that makes it too easy for users to change it permanently[2] and possible "break" printing.
---
[1] By running `PDFViewerApplicationOptions.get('printResolution', /* value here */);` in the console after the viewer loads.
[2] I've seen Firefox bugs, filed in Bugzilla, where users modified e.g. preferences manually in `about:config` and then some time later (maybe months) wondered why something was suddenly broken. In those cases, trying to work out that a preference change was the culprit can take time/effort.
This includes the information in the core and display layers. The
date parsing logic from the document properties is rewritten according
to the specification and now includes unit tests.
Moreover, missing unit tests for the color of a popup annotation have
been added.
Finally the styling of the popup is changed slightly to make the text a
bit smaller (it's currently quite large in comparison to other viewers)
and to make the drop shadow a bit more subtle. The former is done to be
able to easily include the modification date in the popup similar to how
other viewers do this.
The file `test/pdfs/annotation-caret-ink.pdf` is already available in
the repository as a reference test for this since I supplied it for
another patch that implemented ink annotations.
With PR 10675 having fixed the completely broken `disableRange=true` setting in the Firefox version of PDF.js, I couldn't help but noticing that loading progress is never reported properly in that case.
Currently loading progress is only reported for the `rangeProgress` chrome-event, which obviously isn't dispatched with `disableRange=true` set. However, the `progressiveRead` chrome-event includes loading progress as well, but this information isn't being used in any way.
Furthermore, the `PDFDataRangeTransport.onDataProgress` method wasn't able to handle "complete" loading information, and neither was `PDFDataTransportStream._onProgress` since that method would only ever attempt to report it through a RangeReader (which won't exist when `disableRange=true` is set).
Currently if trying to set `disableRange=true` in the built-in PDF Viewer in Firefox, either through `about:config` or via the URL hash, the PDF document will never load. It appears that this has been broken for a couple of years, without anyone noticing.
Obviously it's not a good idea to set `disableRange=true`, however it seems that this bug affects the PDF Viewer in Firefox even with default settings:
- In the case where `initialData` already contains the *entire* file, we're forced to dispatch a range request to re-fetch already available data just so that file loading may complete.
- (In the case where the data arrives, via streaming, before being specifically requested through `requestDataRange`, we're also forced to re-fetch data unnecessarily.) *This part was removed, to reduce the scope/risk of the patch somewhat.*
In the cases outlined above, we're having to re-fetch already available data thus potentially delaying loading/rendering of PDF files in Firefox (and wasting resources in the process).
This lays the necessary foundation for handling zoom events originating within the browser itself, rather than in the viewer. Please note that this will also require a follow-up patch to `mozilla-central`, such that the viewer is actually notified when zooming occurs.
The generated `default_preferences.json` file is necessary when initializing the Firefox preferences, which only supports certain types, hence this patch adds additional validation to help prevent run-time errors in Firefox.
Given that these changes add a code-path to `AppOptions.getAll` which could throw, the `OptionKind.PREFERENCE` branch is also modified to require *exact* matching to prevent (future) errors in the viewer.
Finally the conditionally defined `defaultOptions` will no longer (potentially) be considered during the `gulp default_preferences` task, to make it more difficult for them to be accidentally included.
Currently these methods are only used from the respective `reset` methods, and from `{BaseViewer, PDFThumbnailViewer}._cancelRendering` which only runs when the active document is closed.
This patch changes `{PDFPageView, PDFThumbnailView}.cancelRendering` to *only* cancel any pending rendering operations, and doesn't attempt to reset e.g. the `renderingState`, since that causes visual glitches (duplicated canvases in the viewer) when called directly.
Furthermore, unless you "know" what you're doing, the `{PDFPageView, PDFThumbnailView}.reset` methods are what *should* normally be used instead.
This implements the nice suggestion from https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/pull/10099#discussion_r219698000, which I at the time didn't think would work.
I'll probably have to plead temporary insanity here, since it *should* have been totally obvious to me how this could be implemented. By simply not registering the event until the `textLayer` is actually rendered, removing the event on `cancel` works just fine.
This patch also removes the `pagecancelled` event, given that it's no longer used anywhere in the code-base and that its implemention was flawed since it wasn't guaranteed to be called in *every* situation where rendering was actually cancelled.
Currently any editing of the preferences require updates in *three* separate files, which isn't a great developer experience to say the least.
This has annoyed me sufficiently to write this patch, which moves the definition of all preferences into `AppOptions` and adds a new `gulp` task to generate the `default_preferences.json` file for the builds where it's needed.
There's a bunch of code, in the viewer, which for historical reasons use `switch` statements to add and remove CSS classes.
This code can be simplified, and unnecessary duplication avoided, by using `classList.toggle` instead.
This avoids having the initialization code "spread out", and will become even simpler once the `TODO` is addressed (which I'm planning on fixing as soon as possible).
This patch ignores the recently added `disableOpenActionDestination` preference, since the latest PDF.js version found on the "Chrome Web Store" doesn't include it.
The intention with preferences such as `sidebarViewOnLoad`/`scrollModeOnLoad`/`spreadModeOnLoad` were always that they should be able to *unconditionally* override their view history counterparts.
Due to the way that these preferences were initially implemented[1], trying to e.g. force the sidebar to remain hidden on load cannot be guaranteed[2]. The reason for this is the use of "enumeration values" containing zero, which in hindsight was an unfortunate choice on my part.
At this point it's also not as simple as just re-numbering the affected structures, since that would wreak havoc on existing (modified) preferences. The only reasonable solution that I was able to come up with was to change the *default* values of the preferences themselves, but not their actual values or the meaning thereof.
As part of the refactoring, the `disablePageMode` preference was combined with the *adjusted* `sidebarViewOnLoad` one, to hopefully reduce confusion by not tracking related state separately.
Additionally, the `showPreviousViewOnLoad` and `disableOpenActionDestination` preferences were combined into a *new* `viewOnLoad` enumeration preference, to further avoid tracking related state separately.
The new "private" method will return a boolean, indicating if the `sidebarviewchanged` event was dispatched, thus allowing some simplification of the `PDFSidebar.setInitialView` method.
When `firstVisibleElementInd === 0`, regardless of the number of views, there's no reason to attempt to backtrack at all since it's never possible to find an element before the *first* one anyway.
This piggybacks of the existing `cancel` functionality, to ensure that any pending operations are closed *and* that any temporary canvases are actually being removed.
Also simplifies `finishPaintTask` in `PDFPageView.draw` slightly, by converting it to an async function.
This attempts to provide more "default" methods in the base class, in order to reduce unnecessary duplication and to improve self-documentation of the `BaseViewer` class slightly.
The following changes are made (in no particular order):
- Have `BaseViewer` implement the `_scrollIntoView` method, and *extend* it as necessary in `PDFViewer`/`PDFSinglePageViewer`.
- Simply inline the `BaseViewer._resizeBuffer` method, in `BaseViewer.update`, since there's only one call-site at this point.
- Provide a default implementation of `_isScrollModeHorizontal` in `BaseViewer`, and have `PDFSinglePageViewer` override it.
- Provide a default implementation of `_getVisiblePages`, and have `PDFViewer` extend it and `PDFSinglePageViewer` override it.
Based on the discussion in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1521413, this patch simply removes the `ReadableStream` polyfill completely from MOZCENTRAL builds.
With this patch, the size of the `gulp mozcentral` build target is thus further reduced (building on PR 10470):
| | `build/mozcentral`
|-------|-------------------
|master | 3 339 666
|patch | 3 209 572
The `FontInspector` was completely broken by PR 10197, and trying to select a particular font (using the checkboxes) or clicking on a piece of text currently does nothing.
With https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1505122 landing in Firefox 65, the native `ReadableStream` implementation is now enabled by default in Firefox.
Obviously it would be nice to simply stop bundling the polyfill in MOZCENTRAL builds altogether, however given that it's still possible to disable[1] `ReadableStream` this is probably not a good idea just yet.
Nonetheless, now that native support is available, it seems unnecessary (and wasteful) to keep bundling the polyfill twice[2] in MOZCENTRAL builds. Hence this patch, which contains a suggest approach for packing the polyfill in a *separate* file which is then *only* loaded if/when needed.
With this patch, the size of the `gulp mozcentral` build target is thus reduced accordingly:
| | `build/mozcentral`
|-------|-------------------
|master | 3 461 089
|patch | 3 340 268
Besides the PDF.js files taking up less space in Firefox this way, the additional benefit is that there's (by default) less code that needs to be loaded and parsed when the PDF Viewer is used which also cannot hurt.
---
[1] In `about:config`, by toggling the `javascript.options.streams` preference.
[2] Once in the `build/pdf.js` file, and once in the `build/pdf.worker.js` file.
Since most of the important rendering code is already (almost) identical between `PDFViewer.update` and `PDFSinglePageViewer.update`, it's possible to further reduce duplication by moving the code into `BaseViewer.update` instead.
Apparently in IE 11 when `history.{pushState, replaceState}` is called, there's actually a difference between not providing the *third* argument vs providing it set implicitly to `undefined`. It appears that in IE 11 it's actually being stringified, rather than ignored, which seems completely wrong (obviously other browsers aren't affected, so no surprises there).
This is yet another reason why I think the feature itself was a really bad idea, since it now requires extra/duplicated code just to prevent weird/incorrect URL behaviour in crappy browsers.
Previously a couple of different attempts at fixing this problem has been rejected, given how *crucial* this code is for the correct function of the viewer, since no one has thus far provided any evidence that the problem actually affects the default viewer[1] nor an example using the viewer components directly (without another library on top).
The fact that none of the prior patches contained even a *simple* unit-test probably contributed to the unwillingness of a reviewer to sign off on the suggested changes.
However, it turns out that it's possible to create a reduced test-case, using the default viewer, that demonstrates the error[2]. Since this utilizes a hidden `<iframe>`, please note that this error will thus affect Firefox as well.
Note that while errors are thrown when the hidden `<iframe>` loads, the default viewer doesn't break completely since rendering does start working once the `<iframe>` becomes visible (although the errors do break the initial Toolbar state).
Before making any changes here, I carefully read through not just the immediately relevant code but also the rendering code in the viewer (given it's dependence on `getVisibleElements`). After concluding that the changes should be safe in general, the default viewer was tested without any issues found. (The above being much easier with significant prior experience of working with the viewer code.)
Finally the patch also adds new unit-tests, one of which explicitly triggers the relevant code-path and will thus fail with the current `master` branch.
This patch also makes `PDFViewerApplication` slightly more robust against errors during document opening, to ensure that viewer/document initialization always completes as expected.
Please keep in mind that even though this patch prevents an error in `getVisibleElements`, it's still not possible to set the initial position/zoom level/sidebar view etc. when the viewer is hidden since rendering and scrolling is completely dependent[3] on being able to actually access the DOM elements.

[3] This is an old, pre-exisiting, issue that's not relevant to this patch as such (and it's already being tracked elsewhere).
With modern JavaScript supporting block-scoped variables, it's no longer necessary to have large numbers of top-level variable definitions (especially when all variables are, implicitly, set to `undefined`).
Besides moving variable definintions, a number of them are also converted to `const` to help ensure that they cannot be *accidentally* modified in the code.
Finally, the `views.length` calculation is now cached *once* rather than being re-computed multiple times.
This is *really* the best that we can do here, since other proposed solutions would interfere with (and break) the painstakingly implemented browsing history that's present in the default viewer.
I'm still not convinced that this is a good idea in general, but this patch implements it in a way where it is possible to toggle[1] for users that wish to have this feature. In particular, there's a couple of reasons why I'm not finding this feature necessary/great:
- It's already possible to easily obtain the current hash, by simply clicking on the `viewBookmark` button at any time.
- Hash changes requires a bit of special handling[2], i.e. extra code, to prevent issues when the browser history is traversed (see `PDFHistory._popState`). Currently this is only necessary when the user has manually changed the hash, with this patch it will always be the case (assuming the feature is active).
- It's not always possible to change the URL when updating the browser history. For example: In the Firefox built-in viewer, the URL cannot be modified for local files (i.e. those using the `file://` protocol).
This leads to inconsistent behaviour, and may in some cases even result in errors being thrown and the history thus not updating, if the browser prevents changes to the URL during `pushState`/`replaceState` calls.
---
[1] Using the `historyUpdateUrl` viewer preference.
[2] This depends, to a great extent, on browsers always firing `popstate` events *before* `hashchange` events, which may or may not actually be guaranteed.
This should hopefully be sufficient to address issue 6847, and given the limited impact of the code changes I'm not completely sure if this would need to be controlled by a preference!?
Initially my intention was to try and provide some (slightly more detailed) implementation suggestions in the issue, but having looked briefly at doing that it would essentially have amounted to actually writing the code anyway. (Especially considering that the recent questions seemed to more-or-less ignore the information already provided in the first post.)
Finally, note that since `performance.navigation.type` is marked as deprecated, a slightly different approach was choosen instead.
If, as PR 10368 suggests, more parameters should be added to `getViewport` I think that it would be a mistake to not change the signature *first* to avoid needlessly unwieldy call-sites.
To not break any existing code and third-party use-cases, this is obviously implemented with a deprecation warning *and* with a working fallback[1] for the old method signature.
---
[1] This is limited to `GENERIC` builds, which should be sufficient.
Given that it's really not clear to me if this is actually desired functionality in the default viewer, and considering that it doesn't fit in *great* with the way that `PDFHistory` is initialized, this feature is currently off by default[1].
---
[1] It's controlled with the `disableOpenActionDestination` Preference/AppOption.
This patch re-factors, and extends, the already existing `zoomDisabledTimeout` used during mouse wheel zooming.
Unfortunately I haven't got the required hardware to actually test this patch, but there's a decent chance that it will fix, or at least reduce, the problems reported in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1503412.
Given that a larger number of pages may now be visible at once, and importantly that their layout may be non-vertical, one of the conditions should be tweaked to not accidentally miss cases where a page is still visible.
Please note: This patch is based on code-inspection, and the only ill effect occurring without it would be a couple of (near) duplicate history entries in some *rare* edge-cases.
With the removal of the global `PDFJS` object, in PDF.js version `2.0`, the viewer options are no longer as easily accessible as they previously were (and issues have been filed about this).
In particular, since the viewer files aren't necessarily loaded *immediately*, this means that `PDFViewerApplication`/`PDFViewerApplicationOptions` aren't necessarily available directly. By dispatching an event once all viewer files are loaded but *before* the viewer initialization has run, setting `AppOptions` during load (in custom implementations of the default viewer) should hopefully become a little bit easier[1].
---
[1] In hindsight, this should probably have been implemented when the global `PDFJS` object was removed...
Rather than having a (somewhat) randomly choosen list of Preferences which `AppOptions` are allowed to override, it makes much more sense to simply add an AppOption to allow custom implementations to ignore Preferences altogether (it's also inline with the AppOption that allows the `ViewHistory` to be bypassed on load).
Rather than closing [bug 1505824](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1505824) as WONTFIX (which is my preferred solution), given how *minor* this "problem" is, it's still possible to adjust the error messages a bit.
The main point here, which is relevant even if the changes in `BaseViewer` are ultimately rejected during review, is that we'll no longer attempt to call `BaseViewer.currentPageLabel` with an empty string from `webViewerPageNumberChanged` in `app.js`.
The other changes are:
- Stop printing an error in `BaseViewer._setCurrentPageNumber`, and have it return a boolean indicating if the page is within bounds.
- Have the `BaseViewer.{currentPageNumber, currentPageLabel}` setters print their own errors for invalid pages.
- Have the `BaseViewer.currentPageLabel` setter no longer depend, indirectly, on the `BaseViewer.currentPageNumber` setter.
- Improve a couple of other error messages.
When `highlightAll` is *not* set, there's only going to be a single match per page and unconditionally calling `PDFFindController.scrollMatchIntoView` doesn't really matter.
However, when `highlightAll` is set the current code may result in a large number of unnecessary `PDFFindController.scrollMatchIntoView` calls. Since `TextLayerBuilder._renderMatches` already checks if a particular match is the selected one, for highlighting purposes, it's simple enough to also skip scrolling completely for non-selected matches.
Only scroll search results into view as a result of an actual find operation, and not when the user scrolls/zooms/rotates the document (bug 1237076, issue 6746)
Most of the code in `PDFFindController` assumes that a valid `state` always exits, hence it cannot hurt to add a simple check to avoid errors being thrown.
Currently searching, and particularily highlighting of search results, may interfere with subsequent user-interactions such as scrolling/zooming/rotating which can result in a somewhat jarring UX where the document suddenly "jumps" to a previous position.
This is especially annoying in cases where the highlighted search result isn't even visible when a user initiated scrolling/zooming/rotating happens, and there exists a couple of bugs/issues about this behaviour.
It seems reasonable, as far as I'm concerned, to treat searching as one operation and any subsequent non-search user interactions with the viewer as separate and thus not scroll the current search result into view *unless* the user is actually doing another search.
This also seems consistent with general searching in e.g. Firefox and Adobe Reader:
- Compare with "regular" searching of e.g. HTML files in Firefox, where the user scrolling and/or zooming the document will not force a currently highlighted search result to become re-scrolled into view.
- Compare also with Adobe Reader, where the user scrolling, zooming, and/or rotating the document will not force the currently highlighted search result to become re-scrolled into view.
The question is then why search highlighting was implemented this way in PDF.js to begin with. It might be that this wasn't really intended behaviour, but more a consequence of the asynchronous nature of the API. Considering that most operations, such as fetching the page, rendering it and extracting its text-content are all asynchronous; searching and highlighting of matches thus becomes asynchronous too.
However, it should be possible to track when search results have been scrolled into view and highlighted, and thus prevent these wierd "jumps" when the user interacts with the document.
*Please note:* Unfortunately this required moving the scrolling of matches back into `PDFFindController`, since I simply couldn't see any other (reasonable) way of implementing the functionality without tracking the `_shouldScroll` property in only *one* spot.
However, given that the new `PDFFindController.scrollMatchIntoView` method follows a similar pattern as `BaseViewer.scrollPageIntoView` and `PDFThumbnailViewer.scrollThumbnailIntoView`, this is hopefully deemed OK.
Given that the `_updateScrollMode`/`_updateSpreadMode` methods are "private", there's no particular reason to not just directly call `_setCurrentPageNumber`.
Note that when e.g. presentation mode is active, we fail[1] to ensure that the `pageNumber` parameter is actually an integer before calling `_setCurrentPageNumber` (that method expects the argument be an integer).
Also changes the method signature, of `scrollPageIntoView`, to use object destructuring instead.
---
[1] Most likely, this is actually *my* oversight :-)
Currently we'll only attempt to start from the current page when a new search is done, however for 'findagain' operations we'll always continue from the last match position.
This could easily lead to confusing behaviour if the user has scrolled to a completely different part of the document. In an attempt to improve this somewhat, for repeated 'findagain' operations, we'll instead reset the position to the current page when it's *absolutely* certain that the user has scrolled.
Note that this required adding a new `BaseViewer` method, and exposing that through `PDFLinkService`, in order to check if a given page is visible.
In an attempt to avoid issues, in custom implementations of `PDFFindController`, the code checks for the existence of the `PDFLinkService.isPageVisible` method *before* using it.
Unfortunately the `PDFFindController.executeCommand` method has now become a bit more complicated than one would like, but hopefully this small change will improve the structure somewhat (especially for subsequent patches).
With only *one* event now being dispatched when the scale changes, in combination with there only being two call-sites, it doesn't seem necessary to keep the helper method for dispatching the 'scalechanging' event.
Currently `PDFFindController._calculateMatch` is (indirectly) dispatching an `updatetextlayermatches` event for every *single* page of the document. For short documents, such as the `tracemonkey` file, this probably doesn't matter too much, but for documents with a couple of thousand pages it seems unfortunate.
It shouldn't be necessary, in general, to dispatch `updatetextlayermatches` events here, since that's already being taken care of in `PDFFindController._updateMatch` which is always called when a match has been found.
However, when `highlightAll` is set we still need to ensure that pages which finished rendered *before* searching begun are updated correctly.
**STR:**
1. Open the default viewer, with the `tracemonkey` file.
2. Open the findbar, and search for "trace".
3. Enable the "Highlight All" option.
4. Close the findbar.
5. Re-open the findbar, and click on the "findNext" button.
6. Scroll down to the *second* page of the document.
**ER:**
Since "Highlight All" is active, all matches on the *second* page should be highlighted.
**AR:**
No matches are highlighted on the *second* page.
This is relevant for e.g. `PDFSinglePageViewer`, and `PDFViewer` with Presentation Mode active.
By moving this code to a helper method in `BaseViewer`, it's thus possible to reduce the amount of duplicate code that currently needed in `PDFViewer` and `PDFSinglePageViewer`.
For a short document, such as e.g. the `tracemonkey` file, this repeated normalization won't matter much, but for documents with a couple of thousand pages it seems completely unnecessary (and wasteful) to keep repeating the normalization whenever for every single page.
Currently the text-content is normalized every time that a new search operation is started, which seems completely useless considering that the "raw" text-content is never used for anything.
For a short document, such as e.g. the `tracemonkey` file, this repeated normalization won't matter much, but for documents with a couple of thousand pages it seems completely unnecessary (and wasteful) to keep repeating the normalization whenever e.g. a new search operation starts.
In the event that multiple instances of `PDFFindController` ever exists simultaneously, they will all be able to share just one `normalize` function in this way. Furthermore, the regular expression is now created lazily rather than at class construction time.
Despite all highlighted matches being removed in response to the 'findbarclose' event, there's a risk that a match could still be scrolled into view *after* the findbar has been closed[1].
Hence we need to ensure that long running searches, particularily those happening in large and/or slow loading documents[2], are ignored as well.
---
[1] The match is hidden, as expected, but the document could still scroll unexpectedly.
[2] Large documents loaded with `disableAutoFetch = true` and `disableStream = true` set are particularily susceptible to this issue.
Given that dispatching the 'updatetextlayermatches' event with `pageIndex = -1` set is now used to target the textLayers of *all* pages, there's no need to send individual events to every single page during `_nextMatch`. Since there can be an arbitrary number of pages in a document, this small/simple optimization seems too easy to ignore.
This patch does four things:
- Change the search related methods in `TextLayerBuilder` to be "private", since there're only called from within the class itself now.
- Use `const` for local variables not intended to change in the search related methods in `TextLayerBuilder`.
- Finally, removes most `this.findController` checks since they are redundant. Note how both `this._convertMatches` and `this._renderMatches` are *only* ever called, from `this._updateMatches`, when `this.findController` is actually defined. Hence there's really no need to repeat those checks all over the place, especially with all the relevant methods now being marked as "private".
- Always initialize the `this._pageMatchesLength` property with an empty array, to simplify the code in `TextLayerBuilder`.
This should, hopefully, cover all the possible ways[1] in which "fake workers" are loaded. Given the different code-paths, adding unit-tests might not be that simple.
Note that in order to make this work, the various `fakeWorkerFilesLoader` functions were converted to return `Promises`.

[1] Unfortunately there's lots of them, for various build targets and configurations.
Rather than having every invocation of `Toolbar._updateUIState` compute a valid `pageScaleValue`, it seems easier to simply ensure that it happens when the value is actually updated.
Looking at the history of this code, this parameter has never been used.
I'm guessing that most likely the code in `web/toolbar.js` began life as a copy of `web/secondary_toolbar.js`, which would probably explain why that parameter exists.
*This patch is based on something that I noticed while working on PR 10126.*
The recent re-factoring of `PDFFindController` brought many improvements, among those the fact that access to `BaseViewer` is no longer required. However, with these changes there's one thing which now strikes me as not particularly user-friendly[1]: The fact that in order for searching to actually work, `PDFFindController.setDocument` must be called *and* a 'pagesinit' event must be dispatched (from somewhere).
For all other viewer components, calling the `setDocument` method[2] is enough in order for the component to actually be usable.
The `PDFFindController` thus stands out quite a bit, and it also becomes difficult to work with in any sort of custom implementation. For example: Imagine someone trying to use `PDFFindController` separately from the viewer[3], which *should* now be relatively simple given the re-factoring, and thus having to (somehow) figure out that they'll also need to manually dispatch a 'pagesinit' event for searching to work.
Note that the above even affects the unit-tests, where an out-of-place 'pagesinit' event is being used.
To attempt to address these problems, I'm thus suggesting that *only* `setDocument` should be used to indicate that searching may start. For the default viewer and/or the viewer components, `BaseViewer.setDocument` will now call `PDFFindController.setDocument` when the document is ready, thus requiring no outside configuration anymore[4]. For custom implementation, and the unit-tests, it's now as simple as just calling `PDFFindController.setDocument` to allow searching to start.

[1] I should have caught this during review of PR 10099, but unfortunately it's sometimes not until you actually work with the code in question that things like these become clear.
[2] Assuming, obviously, that the viewer component in question actually implements such a method :-)
[3] There's even a very recent issue, filed by someone trying to do just that.
[4] Short of providing a `PDFFindController` instance when creating a `BaseViewer` instance, of course.
Since searching itself is an asynchronous operation, removal of highlights needs to be asynchronous too since otherwise there's a risk that the events happen in the wrong order and find highlights thus remain visible.
Also, this patch will now ensure that only 'findbarclose' events for the *current* document is handled since other ones doesn't really matter. Note in particular that when no document is loaded text-layers are, obviously, not present and subsequently it's unnecessary to attempt to hide non-existent find highlights.
For many years it's been possible to enter a search term into the findbar(s) before the document has finised loading, such that searching starts immediately once it has loaded.
PR 10099 accidentally broke that, which I unfortunately missed during reviewing.
Since searching is asynchronous you cannot directly check in `executeCommand` if the document is loaded/current, but need to wait until searching is actually enabled first.
Furthermore this patch also ensures that the `_findTimeout` is always correctly cleared given that it adds further asynchronous behaviour to searching, since you obviously only want to deal with searches relevant to the current document.
This is similar to the format used by a number of other viewer components, and should simplify the `PDFSidebar` initialization slightly.
Furthermore, by using the `eventBus` it's no longer necessary for `PDFSidebar` to have a direct dependency on `PDFOutlineViewer`.
There's still room for improvement here, but this patch is at least a start (since it's not clear to me how best to handle the viewers).
This attempts to reduced the level of indirection, and the amount of code, when dispatching `fileattachmentannotation` events, by removing the `PDFLinkService.onFileAttachmentAnnotation` method and just accessing `PDFLinkService.eventBus` directly in the `FileAttachmentAnnotationElement` constructor.
Given that other properties, such as `externalLinkTarget`/`externalLinkRel`, are already being accessed directly this pattern seems fine here as well.
This commit shows that we can now unit test the find controller and
that executing regular queries works. Note that this is only a first
step and not a complete suite of unit tests for all possible options
of the find controller.
While writing this unit test, I found two smaller issues that I
addressed directly. The first one is that in the previous find
controller refactoring I forgot to rename some occurrences of a now
private member variable. Fortunately this did not cause any bugs since
we did have a public getter and the fetched value may be changed by
reference, but it's nevertheless good to fix. The second issue is that
some entries in the `test/unit/clitests.json` file were not correct,
resulting in these tests not being executed on e.g., Travis CI.
With `PDFFindController` instances no longer (directly) depending on
`BaseViewer` instances, we can pass a single `findController` when
initializing a viewer, similar to other components.
This removes the dependency on a `PDFViewer` instance from the find
controller, which makes it more similar to other components and makes it
easier to unit test with a mock link service.
Finally, we remove the search capabilities from the SVG example since it
doesn't work there because there is no separate text layer.
Now it follows the same pattern as e.g., the document properties
component, which allows us to have one instance of the find controller
and set a new document to search upon switching documents.
Moreover, this allows us to get rid of the dependency on `pdfViewer` in
order to fetch the text content for a page. This is working towards
getting rid of the `pdfViewer` dependency upon initializing the
component entirely in future commits.
Finally, we make the `reset` method private since it's not supposed to
be used from the outside anymore now that `setDocument` takes care of
this, similar to other components.
This way the resetting of `PDFLinkService`/`PDFDocumentProperties` instances, as is done in `PDFViewerApplication.close`, only requires passing in *one* `null` argument instead of two.
The built-in PDF Viewer (in Firefox) cannot use the browser findbar when PDF files are embedded in e.g. iframe/object tags, and the PDF.js findbar (i.e. `PDFFindBar`) will thus be used instead in those cases.
This is slightly problematic, since the `MOZCENTRAL` version of the viewer uses a special, slimmed down, version of the `l10n.js` file that doesn't (currently) support plural forms. To prevent the matchesCounter from breaking completely in this edge-case, temporarily hard-code the plural form to use the default `[other]` version of the locale strings.
This prevents the findbar from intermittently displaying `0 of {number} matches`, which *could* theoretically happen for large and/or slow loading documents.
The find controller should only coordinate finding a string in the
document and should not be responsible for presenting the matches to the
user. The text layer builder already contains the logic to render the
matches in the viewer, so it should also take care of scrolling the
selected match into view.
The find controller already has quite a lot of state to maintain. We can
avoid keeping track of this member variable because when the find
controller is reset, so is the extract text promises array. Therefore,
we can just check if that array contains items or not to determine if
text extraction already started.
Moreover, there is no need to reset the `pageContents` array since the
`reset` method already takes care of that.
This is an unfortunate oversight on my part, which I stumbled upon when (locally) testing the `mozilla-central` follow-up patch necessary to enable the matches counter in the built-in PDF viewer.
The property is intended to contain a reference to a DOM element, which not only is nowhere to be found *now* but appears to never have existed in the first place.
As outlined in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1282759 the internal Firefox name for the feature is `entireWord`, hence that name is used here as well for consistency (with "Whole words" being limited to the UI).
Given existing limitations of the PDF.js search functionality, e.g. the existing problems of searching across "new lines", there's some edge-cases where "Whole words" searching will ignore (valid) results.
However, considering that this is a pre-existing issue related to the way that the find controller joins text-content together, that shouldn't have to block this new feature in my opionion.
*Please note:* In order to enable this feature in the `MOZCENTRAL` version, a small follow-up patch for [PdfjsChromeUtils.jsm](https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/browser/extensions/pdfjs/content/PdfjsChromeUtils.jsm) will be required once this has landed in `mozilla-central`.
For the `PDFFindBar` implementation, similar to the native Firefox findbar, the matches count displayed is now limited to a (hopefully) reasonable value.
*Please note:* In order to enable this feature in the `MOZCENTRAL` version, a follow-up patch will be required once this has landed in `mozilla-central`.
This patch is the first step to be able to eventually get rid of the `attachDOMEventsToEventBus` function, by allowing `EventBus` instances to simply re-dispatch most[1] events to the DOM.
Note that the re-dispatching is purposely implemented to occur *after* all registered `EventBus` listeners have been serviced, to prevent the ordering issues that necessitated the duplicated page/scale-change events.
The DOM events are currently necessary for the `mozilla-central` tests, see https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/browser/extensions/pdfjs/test, and perhaps also for custom deployments of the PDF.js default viewer.
Once this have landed, and been successfully uplifted to `mozilla-central`, I intent to submit a patch to update the test-code to utilize the new preference. This will thus, eventually, make it possible to remove the `attachDOMEventsToEventBus` functionality.
*Please note:* I've successfully ran all `mozilla-central` tests locally, with these patches applied.

[1] The exception being events that originated on the `window` or `document`, since those are already globally available anyway.
The new events follow the same naming pattern as the 'pagesinit'/'pagesloaded' events dispatched on `BaseViewer` instances, and the intention is to allow the eventual removal of 'documentload'.
[api-minor] Add an `IsLinearized` property to the `PDFDocument.documentInfo` getter, to allow accessing the linearization status through the API (via `PDFDocumentProxy.getMetadata`)
When updating Preferences using the `set` method, the input is carefully validated. However, no validation is (currently) done when a `BasePreferences` instance is created, which probably isn't that great. Hence this patch that simply ignores, to not unnecessarily break loading of the viewer itself, any invalid Preferences.
Given that the various Preferences are currently, and have been for quite some time, only used when initializing `PDFViewerApplication` re-loading them when a new PDF file is opened in the viewer is essentially a no-op.
Furthermore, with the only usage of `BasePreferences.reload` now gone, the value of that method seems questionable at best. In the event that the functionality is actually needed again, similar to the `ViewHistory`, it'd probably make more sense to simply replace `PDFViewerApplication.preferences` with a new `BasePreferences` instance instead (using e.g. `DefaultExternalServices.createPreferences`).
Given that *all* Preferences are already fetched in `PDFViewerApplication._readPreferences`, the amount of boilerplate/duplication can be considerably reduced with the addition of a `BasePreferences.getAll` method.
The only reason that this check ever existed in the first place, is that originally there was a global `PDFJS.openExternalLinkInNewWindow` option which was then subsumed by the (more generic) `PDFJS.externalLinkTarget` option. (The `externalLinkTarget` has since been moved into a `PDFLinkService` option, as part of PDF.js version `2.0`.)
Hence, during the period where both `PDFJS.openExternalLinkInNewWindow` and `PDFJS.externalLinkTarget` existed side-by-side, there was a need to allow the former one to override the latter one (for backward compatibility purposes). However, that's no longer the case, and this extra `externalLinkTarget` check can now be removed.
*This was a stupid error on my part; sorry about breaking this!*
With the current code, the value of the `externalLinkTarget` option is now (potentially) updated *after* the viewer components have been initialized. For the "viewer in iframe/object tag" case, the result is that the value of the `externalLinkTarget` option isn't adjusted as intended any more.
Without providing useful (custom) error messages for the `no-restricted-globals` rule, see https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-restricted-globals, it's quite likely that the rule will be incorrectly disabled rather than the required globals being imported as intended.
To reduced duplication of the `no-restricted-globals` rule in multiple `.eslintrc` files, it's instead moved to the top-level `.eslintrc` file and disabled as needed on a folder/file basis outside of `/src` and `/web`.
*Another small piece of clean-up of code I've previously written; follow-up to PR 8775.*
Importing `createPromiseCapability`, and then using it in just *one* spot, seems unnecessary since the `waitOnEventOrTimeout` function may just as well return a regular `Promise` directly.
Given that the non-default Spread modes (currently) doesn't affect the page layout when horizontal scrolling is enabled, having the Spread buttons appear active when clicking them appears to do *nothing* is probably confusing rather than helpful to users.
If the current viewer is a `PDFSinglePageViewer` instance the Scroll/Spread modes are no-ops, hence displaying buttons that do *nothing* when clicked will probably do very little besides confuse users.
The names 'resetscrollmode'/'resetspreadmode' were probably *not* great choices, given that the only thing being reset are toolbar buttons and not the actual Scroll/Spread modes. Furthermore, there's really no need for two separate events here.
The patch also adds a comment that ought to have been included in PR 9040, to prevent future refactoring/removing of what may appear to be an unnecessary `Promise.resolve` call.
This moves/exposes the `URL` polyfill similarily to the existing `ReadableStream` polyfill, rather than exposing it globally, to avoid interfering with any "outside" code.
Both the `URL` and `ReadableStream` polyfills are now exposed on the `pdfjsLib` object, such that they are accessible to the viewer components.
Furthermore, the `no-restricted-globals` ESLint rule is also enabled to prevent accidental usage of the native `URL`/`ReadableStream` implementations directly in the `src/` and `web/` folders; see also https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-restricted-globals
Addresses the remaining TODO in https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/projects/6
Rather than having to manually call a method on `PDFFindController` instances from `BaseViewer.setDocument`, thus essentially having to resolve the private `_firstPagePromise` from the "outside", this can be done easily with the 'pagesinit' event dispatched on the `eventBus` instead.
Please note this particular `PDFFindController` code pre-dates the `eventBus` by almost three years, which should explain why the code looks the way it does.
Since the Scroll/Spread modes are now document specific, as all other properties such as page/scale/rotation, ensure that the toolbar is always correctly reset.
Since other viewer state, such as the current page/scale/rotation[1], are not available as `BaseViewer` constructor options, this makes the Scroll/Spread modes stand out quite a bit. Hence it probably makes sense to remove/deprecate this, to avoid inconsistent and possibly confusing state in this code.
---
[1] These properties are *purposely* not available in the constructor, since attempting to set them before a document is loaded has number of issues; please refer to https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/pull/8539#issuecomment-309706629 for additional details.
Since all the other viewer methods use the getter/setter pattern, e.g. for setting page/scale/rotation, the way that the Scroll/Spread modes are set thus stands out. For consistency, this really ought to use the same pattern as the rest of the `BaseViewer`. (To avoid breaking third-party implementations, the old methods are kept around as aliases.)
Note how the other "...OnLoad" preferences will allow a *non-default* value to always override a history entry. To improve overall consistency for the viewer options, and to reduce possibly confusing behaviour, this patch changes the `scrollModeOnLoad`/`spreadModeOnLoad` preferences to behave as all the other ones.
For some reason, these weren't added to `AppOptions` despite actually being set and read from `web/app.js`. Not adding them creates inconsistencies, since all other options *are* present in `web/app_options.js`.
This property isn't accessed anywhere in the `web/app.js` file, and is also not being reset in `PDFViewerApplication.close`. Hence it seems that it can simply be removed, especially since the fingerprint is already synchronously available through `PDFViewerApplication.pdfDocument.fingerprint` (provided that a document is loaded).
With the current code, the location in the viewer could change *well* after the user has started to interact with the viewer (for very large and/or slow loading documents). Attempt to reduce the likelyhood of that happening, by adding an upper bound to the time spent waiting before attempting to re-apply the initial position.
Rather than using a "special" property to check if a `ViewHistory` database entry existed on load, it seems that you could just as well check for the existence of one of the actually needed properties instead (here 'page' is used).
This way we can avoid storing what, more of less, amounts to useless state, which will help reduce the size of the `ViewHistory` database. Given that we don't directly, nor need to, validate the `ViewHistory` data but rely on other parts of the code-base to do so, the existance of an 'exists' property doesn't in and of itself really add much utility.
Finally, to simplify the implementation the 'exists' property won't be actively removed from the `ViewHistory` data. Instead we'll simply stop adding 'exists' when writing `ViewHistory` data, and rely on the existing pruning of old entries to eventually remove any remnants of 'exists' from storage.
Note how, in the current code, only *one* old history entry would ever be removed. That would mean that if e.g. the `cacheSize` is reduced, it would potentially require loading of multiple files before the database would be correctly pruned.
Furthermore, in the case where the database was empty on load there's no need to attempt to shrink it, since trying to reduce the size of an *empty* array won't do much :-)
Since the current page will be explicitly scrolled into view *directly* afterwards anyway (compare with e.g. the `pagesRotation` code), trying to maintain the current position when re-applying the zoom level during changing of Scroll modes is redundant.
Note how in `BaseViewer.forceRendering` the Scroll mode is used to determine how pre-rendering will work. Currently this is broken in Presentation Mode, if horizontal scrolling was enabled prior to entering fullscreen.
Furthermore, there's a few additional cases where the `this.scrollMode === ScrollMode.HORIZONTAL` check is pointless either in Presentation Mode or when a `PDFSinglePageViewer` instance is used.
Since the Scroll/Spread modes doesn't make (any) sense in `PDFSinglePageViewer` instances, the general structure of these methods can be improved to reflect that.
Given that this method is a no-op in `PDFSinglePageViewer`, similar to `_regroupSpreads`, let's improve the general code structure by simply moving the method.
There's no good reason to iterate through an arbitrary number of DOM elements this way, since a document could contain thousands of pages, when everything can be easily removed at once; compare with e.g. `BaseViewer._resetView` and `PDFThumbnailViewer._resetView`.
Furthermore given that it's a `PDFViewer` instance, the `this.viewer` property can be accessed directly. Besides, `_setDocumentViewerElement` only exists as a helper method for `setDocument` in the base class and none of this code applies for `PDFSinglePageViewer` instances either.
The Secondary Toolbar buttons for, not to mention the actual toggling of, Scroll/Spread modes are currently completely broken in older browsers (such as IE11).
As a follow-up, it'd probably be a good idea to try and find a *feature complete* `classList` polyfill that could be used instead, but this patch at least addresses the immediate regression.
Please refer to the compatibility information in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/classList#Browser_compatibility
The `onOpenWithURL` method, in `PDFViewerApplication.initPassiveLoading`, accepts a `originalURL` parameter which is then passed on to `PDFViewerApplication.open` as is. However, the latter method expects the name of the parameter to be `originalUrl` (note the casing), meaning that `getDocument` will fail in this case.
For consistency, and to avoid confusion, the renaming is done in `web/chromecom.js` as well.
*The danger of fixing one bug is that it can, sometimes too easily, cause another one in the process; sorry for not catching this when testing PR 9816 locally.*
When the *entire* viewer becomes narrow enough, as controlled by the `@media all and (max-width: 840px)` media query, the sidebar should (semi-transparently) overlay the `viewerContainer` instead of moving it horizontally. Unfortunately the changes made in PR 9816 caused the relevant CSS rules to be skipped, because of how the inheritance model works in CSS.
I'm well aware that `!important` is usually advised against, since it "breaks" the CSS inheritance model. However in this case it seemed reasonable to use it, to not only fix the bug at hand but to also prevent similar bugs from occurring in the future.
This is a regression from PR 8993; it causes the pages to be offset horizontally in Presentation Mode, if and only if the sidebar is currently open when the user triggers Presentation Mode.
Please note that while this doesn't seem to affect Firefox, both Chrome and IE are however affected.
Interestingly enough, despite the Chrome extension being affected as well, I cannot find any issue filed about this. (Either Presentation Mode isn't used much at all, or users don't open the sidebar before entering Presentation Mode.)
It appears that Microsoft silently fixed the problem that required disabling of fullscreen mode, in e.g. `iframe`s, in IE 11; please see issue 4711 and PR 5525 for historical context.
Unfortunately my Google-fu isn't strong enough to find any *official* information regarding the fixing of the browser bug in IE. However testing of the default viewer in IE 11, with this patch applied, it now appears that Presentation Mode is working correctly even in an `iframe` in IE 11.
Further anecdotal evidence that the bug is in fact fixed, is for example that jQuery previously contained a work-around for the IE bug. However, that's removed over two years ago now; see ff1a0822f7 and the issues referenced there.
Given that the default viewer isn't intended to be used as-is anyway (in custom deployments), it didn't seem necessary to keep the `disableFullscreen` option around since it was *only* ever added for compatibility purposes.
Fixes 9585.
Not only is the `Util.loadScript` helper function unused on the Worker side, even trying to use it there would throw an Error (since `document` isn't defined/available in Workers).
Hence this helper function is moved, and its code modernized slightly by having it return a Promise rather than needing a callback function.
Finally, to reduced code duplication, the "new" loadScript function is exported and used in the viewer.
This should provide a better out-of-the-box experience when using PDF.js in a Node.js environment, since it's missing native support for both `@font-face` and `Image`.
Please note that this change *only* affects the default values, hence it's still possible for an API consumer to override those values when calling `getDocument`.
Also, prevents "ReferenceError: document is not defined" errors, when running the unit-tests in Node.js/Travis.
This commit adds `scrollModeOnLoad` and `spreadModeOnLoad` preferences
that control the default viewer state when opening a new document for
the first time.
This commit also contains a minor refactoring of some of the option UI
rendering code in extensions/chromium/options/options.js, as I couldn't
bear creating two more functions nearly identical to the four that
already existed.
This builds on the scrolling mode work to add three buttons for joining
page spreads together: one for the default view, with no page spreads,
and two for spreads starting on odd-numbered or even-numbered pages.
Prior to this commit, if the vertical scroll bar is absent and the horizontal
scroll bar is present, a link to a particular point on the page which should
induce a horizontal scroll did not do so, because the absence of a vertical
scroll bar meant that the viewer was not recognized as the nearest scrolling
ancestor. This commit adds a check for horizontal scroll bars when searching
for the scrolling ancestor.
*This is a final piece of clean-up of code that I recently wrote, after which I'm done :-)*
When the `getMainThreadWorkerMessageHandler` function was added, in PR 9385, it did so by basically introducing a `web/app.js` dependency in `src/display/api.js` through the `window.pdfjsNonProductionPdfWorker` property[1]. Even though this is limited to non-`PRODUCTION` mode, i.e. `gulp server`, it still seems unfortunate to have that sort of viewer dependency in the API code itself.
With the new, much nicer and shorter, names introduced in PR 9565 we can remove this non-`PRODUCTION` hack and just use `window.pdfjsWorker` in both the viewer and the API regardless of the build mode.
---
[1] It didn't seem correct to piggy-back on the `window.pdfjsDistBuildPdfWorker` property in non-`PRODUCTION` mode.
Please note that this patch *purposely* doesn't add every standard (or semi-standard) page name in existence, but rather only a few common ones. This is done to lessen the burden on localizers, since it's quite possible that all of the page names could need translation (depending on locale).
It's easy to add more standard page sizes in the future, but we should take care to *only* add those that are very commonly used in actual PDF files.
This uses a whitelist, based on the locale, to determine where non-metric units should be used.
Note that the behaviour implemented here seem consistent with desktop PDF viewers (e.g. Adobe Reader), where the pageSizes are *always* displayed with locale dependent units rather than pageSize dependent ones (since the latter would probably be quite confusing).
A couple of basic unit-tests are added, and a manual `isLandscape` check (in `web/base_viewer.js`) is also converted to use the helper function instead.
Test case to exercise the different encodings:
1. Create a file "some file#@%M<br>%25 .pdf"
2. Build the extension with `gulp chromium` and load it in Chrome.
3. Go to `chrome://extensions/` and ensure that the
"Allow access to file URLs" is disabled.
4. Try to open the file from step 1 in Chrome (maybe reload once).
5. PDF.js should be showing a file chooser button.
6. Click on that button and select a different file.
Test: Check that a confirmation dialog pops up that warns about
a different file name. Cancel the dialog.
7. Click on the button again and select the original file.
Test: Check that the file opens as expected.
The units are currently repeated after each dimension, which seems unnecessary and is also not done in other PDF viewers (such as e.g. Adobe Reader).
Furthermore, the name of the l10n arguments can be simplified slightly, since the name of the strings themselves should be enough information.
Finally, the `width`/`height` should be formatted according to the current locale, as is already done for other strings in the document properties dialog.
The `getPageSizeInches` method was implemented on `PDFDocumentProxy`, which seems conceptually wrong since the size property isn't global to the document but rather specific to each page. Hence the method is moved into `PDFPageProxy`, as `get pageSizeInches` instead to address this.
Despite the fact that new API functionality was implemented, no unit-tests were added. To prevent issues later on, we should *always* ensure that new functionality has at least some test-coverage; something that this patch also takes care of.
The new `PDFDocumentProperties._parsePageSize` method seemed unnecessary convoluted. Furthermore, in the "no data provided"-case it even returned incorrect data (an array, rather than the expected object).
Finally, the fallback strings didn't actually agree with the `en-US` locale. This inconsistency doesn't look too great, and it's thus addressed here as well.
PR #9493 moved from `appConfig.defaultUrl` to `AppOptions.get('defaultUrl')`.
However, it forgot to replace `appConfig.defaultUrl` in chromecom.js,
and as a result the extension is not able to open any PDF file.
This patch fixes that issue.
One additional complication with removing this option from the global `PDFJS` object, is that the viewer currently needs to check `disableAutoFetch` in a couple of places. To address this I'm thus proposing adding a getter in `PDFDocumentProxy`, to allow checking the *actually* used values for a particular `getDocument` invocation.
The `appConfig` contains (mostly) references to various DOM elements, used when initializing the viewer components.
Hence `defaultUrl` seem like a slightly better fit for the new `AppOptions` abstraction, not to mention that it should thus be easier to set/modify it for custom deployments of the default viewer.
The way that various options are handled in the default viewer is currently a bit of a mess (to say the least). Some viewer options reside in the global `PDFJS` object, while others reside in `Preferences`. To make matters worse, some options even exist in both of the two.
Since the goal, with PDF.js version `2.0`, is to reduce our usage of the global `PDFJS` object, we'll instead want pass in the options when initializing the viewer components and when calling API methods (such as `getDocument`).
However given the current state of things in the default viewer, this wouldn't be exactly easy to implement. Hence this patch, which attempts to consolidate the way that viewer (and later API) options are handled by introducing a `AppOptions` singleton that provides *one* centralized way of interacting with the various options in the default viewer.
In a1cfa5f4d7, the textLayerMode
preference was introduced, to replace the disableTextLayer and
enhanceTextSelection preferences.
As a result, the text selection preference was no longer visible
in Chrome (because preferences are only rendered by default for
boolean preferences, not for enumerations).
This commit adds the necessary bits to
extensions/chromium/options/options.{html,js}
so that the textLayerMode preference can be changed again.
Also, migration logic has been added to move over preferences
from the old to the new names:
- In web/chromecom.js, the logic is added to translate
preferences that were set by an administrator (it is read-only,
so this layer is unavoidable).
- In extensions/chromium/options/migration.js, similar logic is
added, except in this case the preference storage is writable,
so this migration logic happens only once.
The "enhanced text selection" mode is still experimental, so it
has been marked as experimental to signal that there may be bugs.
The list of tasks that block promotion to stable is at #7584.
This partially reverts df0836b9b8.
The entry in preferences_schema.json is restored because that is
required to make managed preferences visible to the extension code.
The default key is still removed from default_preferences.json,
because this change only concerns the Chrome extension, not the
other parts of PDF.js. To account for the missing key, the
deprecated key was added back in chromecom.js
The key needs to be restored in preferences_schema.json too,
because that's the only way to make managed preferences visible.
I'm using `Object.assign`, which was introduced in Chrome 45,
so the preference module will break in Chrome 45 and earlier.
This is fine, because we do not support Chrome before 49.
In order to simplify things, the undocumented `enableStats` option was removed and `pdfBug` is now instead used to enabled general debugging *and* page request/rendering stats.
Considering that in the default viewer the `stats` was only used when debugging was also enabled, this simplification (code wise) definitely seem worthwhile to me.
Rather than having two different (but connected) options for the textLayer, I think that it makes sense to try and unify this. For example: currently if `disableTextLayer === true`, then the value of `enhanceTextSelection` is simply ignored.
Since PDF.js version `2.0` already won't be backwards compatible in lots of ways, I don't think that we need to worry about migrating existing preferences here.
This removes the `PDFJS.externalLinkTarget`/`PDFJS.externalLinkRel` dependency from the viewer components, but please note that as a *temporary* solution the default viewer still uses it.
This removes the `PDFJS.imageResourcesPath` dependency from the viewer components and the test-suite, but please note that as a *temporary* solution the default viewer still uses it.
This removes the `PDFJS.maxCanvasPixels` dependency from the viewer components, but please note that as a *temporary* solution the default viewer still uses it.
This removes the `PDFJS.useOnlyCssZoom` dependency from the viewer components, but please note that as a *temporary* solution the default viewer still uses it.
Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, we still need the ability to adjust certain viewer options depending on the browser environment in PDF.js version `2.0`. However, we should be able to separate this from the general compatibility code in the `src/shared/compatibility.js` file.
This rule is available from https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-mozilla, and is enforced in mozilla-central. Note that we have the necessary `Array`/`String` polyfills and that most cases have already been fixed, see PRs 9032 and 9434.

The code responsible for highlighting/scrolling thumbnails is quite old, and parts of it hasn't really changed much over time.
In particular, the `scrollThumbnailIntoView` method is currently using `document.querySelector` in order to find both the new/current thumbnail element. This seems totally unnessary, since we can easily keep track of the current thumbnail (similar to the "regular" viewer) and thus avoid unnecessary DOM look-ups.
Furthermore, note how the `PDFThumbnailView` constructor is currently highlighting the *first* thumbnail. This is yet another leftover from older viewer code, which we can now remove and instead take care of in `PDFThumbnailViewer.setDocument`.
Given that `PDFThumbnailView` does not, nor should it, have any concept of which thumbnail is currently selected, this change also improves the general structure of this code a tiny bit.
Despite this patch removing the `disableWorker` option itself, please note that we'll still fallback to loading the worker file(s) on the main-thread when running in environments without proper Web Worker support.
Furthermore it's still possible, even with this patch, to force the use of fake workers by manually loading the necessary file using a `<script>` tag on the main-thread.[1]
That way, the functionality of the now removed `SINGLE_FILE` build target and the resulting `build/pdf.combined.js` file can still be achieved simply by adding e.g. `<script src="build/pdf.worker.js"></script>` to the HTML (obviously with the path adjusted as needed).
Finally note that the `disableWorker` option is a performance footgun, and unfortunately many existing third-party examples actually use it without providing any sort of warning/justification.

[1] This approach is used in the default viewer, since certain kind of debugging may be easier if the code is running directly on the main-thread.
https://crbug.com/362061 was fixed in Chrome 36, and the lowest
supported Chrome version in the extension is Chrome 49, so the
work-around for a filesystem:-bug in chromecom can be removed.
This was introduced in #3582 to work around https://crbug.com/274024 .
The bug in Chrome has been fixed a long time ago (at least 33), so let's
simplify the code.
This patch updates the `IPDFStreamReader` interface and ensures that the interface/implementation of `network.js`, `fetch_stream.js`, `node_stream.js`, and `transport_stream.js` all match properly.
The unit-tests are also adjusted, to more closely replicate the actual behaviour of the various actual `IPDFStreamReader` implementations.
Finally, this patch adjusts the use of the Content-Disposition filename when setting the title in the viewer, and adds `PDFDocumentProperties` support as well.
