`PDFViewerApplication` reads from `location.hash` to initialize
`initialBookmark`. But when extensions/chromium/pdfHandler.js prepares
the redirect URL, the reference fragment is encoded instead of bare.
`rewriteUrlClosure` in `chromecom.js` is responsible for decoding the
URL, but that currently runs too late.
To fix this, update `initialBookmark` after rewriting the URL.
This was not a problem in the past because `rewriteUrlClosure` in
`chromecom.js` executed before the initialization of `initialBookmark`.
These options are completely unused in the PDF.js viewer, and given that the last update of the `GrabToPan`-code from upstream was in 2016 it shouldn't hurt to remove them.
This is something that I completely overlooked during review of PR 16593, since the idea is (obviously) that the viewer-components should be usable as-is without the user needing to manually pass in any *additional* parameters.
To support this we can very easily expose the current `FilterFactory`-instance on the `PDFPageProxy`-class[1], and if needed initialize the highlight-filters when initializing the page (again limited to the viewer-components).
- Modify the text and background colors in popup to fit a11y requirements
- Add a backdrop filter on clickable areas in using a svg filter mapping
canvas colors to Highlight and HighlightText ones.
It occurred to me that we can actually run this unit-test in Node.js environments by making use of the preprocessor to stub out the browser globals there.
Until now we've not actually had *any* tests that ensure that the *official* PDF.js-viewer API exposes the intended functionality, which means that things can easily break accidentally.
*Please note:* This unit-test cannot (easily) be run in Node.js-environments, since the `external/webL10n/l10n.js` file contains various browser-specific functionality.
- Change (most) fields/methods into private ones, since that's now supported.
- Tweak the constructor-parameters, and simplify the sandbox initialization w.r.t. the viewer components.
- Remove some unused function/method parameters.
- Slightly simplify the "updatefromsandbox"-handler by using local variables and inverting some conditions.
Rather than sprinkling pre-processor statements throughout the viewer-code, simply "disable" the relevant `PDFViewer` setters instead.
Also, given that the GeckoView-specific viewer doesn't have a sidebar we don't actually need to explicitly ignore a `pageMode` during loading.
This helper function was added almost two years ago, in PR 13696, and it still has only a single call-site. Furthermore, with the changes made in PR 16572 it also cannot hurt to reduce the size of the `web/l10n_utils.js` file slightly.
Note how the [`ChromeActions.getPreferences` method](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/4e8f62a231e71dc53eb50b6d74afca21d6b254e9/toolkit/components/pdfjs/content/PdfStreamConverter.sys.mjs#497-530) returns the preferences as a string, which we then have to convert back into an Object in the viewer.
Back when that code was originally written it wasn't possible to send Objects from the platform-code, however that's no longer the case and we should be able to (eventually) remove this unnecessary string-parsing now.
*Please note that in order to prevent breakage we'll need to land these changes in stages:*
- Land this patch in mozilla-central, as part of regular the PDF.js updates.
- Change the return type in the `ChromeActions.getPreferences` method, in a mozilla-central patch.
- Remove the string-handling from the `FirefoxPreferences._readFromStorage` method.
Please note that we've never had any functionality in the viewer itself that *set* preferences, and we've thus only ever read them.
For the GENERIC viewer it obviously makes sense for the user to be able to modify preferences, e.g. via the console, but that doesn't really apply to the *built-in* Firefox PDF Viewer since preferences are already accessible via `about:config` there. Hence it does seems somewhat strange to expose, a limited part of, the Firefox preference system in this way when we're not even using it.
Note that the unused preference setting-code also include a fair amount of *additional* validation on the platform-side, such as limiting any possible preference changes to the `pdfjs.`-branch and also an explicit white-list of preference names[1], to make sure that this is safe; please see:
- https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/4e8f62a231e71dc53eb50b6d74afca21d6b254e9/toolkit/components/pdfjs/content/PdfStreamConverter.sys.mjs#458-495
- https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/4e8f62a231e71dc53eb50b6d74afca21d6b254e9/toolkit/modules/AsyncPrefs.sys.mjs#21-48
Assuming that this patch lands, I'll follow-up with a mozilla-central patch to remove the code mentioned above.

[1] This hard-coded list contains preferences that no longer exist, and also at least one (fairly obvious) typo.
This method was added only for consistency with the `register`-method, however it's never actually been used. To avoid including dead code in the builds, let's just remove the `unregister`-method for now.
*Please note:* If this method ever becomes useful, it'll be trivial to revert this commit.
With the changes in PR 16552 we can now move general translation into the `AnnotationLayer` itself, which should improve things ever so slightly in third-party implementations where the default viewer isn't used.
*This is something that I completely overlooked during review of PR 16552, despite leaving a l10n-related comment.*
The new l10n-handling of PopupAnnotations assume that the `AnnotationLayer` is always initialized with a l10n-instance, which might not actually be the case in third-party implementations where the default viewer isn't used.
To work-around that we'll now bundle, and fallback on, the existing `NullL10n`-implementation in GENERIC builds of the PDF.js library. This will only result in a slight file-size increase for the *built* `pdf.js` file, again limited to GENERIC builds, since the `web/l10n_utils.js` file has no dependencies.
Also, tweaks a couple of TESTING pre-processor checks to *only* include that code when running the reference tests.
- it'll help to be able to move popups on screen to let the user read the text
- popups won't inherit some properties from their parent:
- the popup can be misrendered if for example the parent has a clip-path property.
- add an outline to the popup when the parent is focused.
- hide a popup when it's clicked.
While it's slightly difficult to trigger in practice, unless the `defaultZoomDelay`-value is increased, it's currently possible to generate thumbnails from *partially* rendered pages when doing *temporary* CSS-only zooming.
We shouldn't dispatch a "pagerendered"-event when doing *temporary* CSS-only zooming, but simply wait until the actual rendering is done.
While I don't believe that this regression has caused any actual bugs, dispatching *duplicate* events is nonetheless inconsistent and should be fixed.
Given that this functionality is only relevant in third-party use-cases, for example the viewer-components, we can avoid needlessly including it in e.g. the MOZCENTRAL build.
This patch does two things:
- Moves the updating of thumbnails into `web/app.js`, via a new `PDFSidebar` callback-function, to avoid having to include otherwise unnecessary parameters when initializing a `PDFSidebar`-instance.
- Only attempt to generate thumbnail-images from pages that are *cached* in the viewer. Note that only pages that exist in the `PDFPageViewBuffer`-instance can be rendered, hence it's not actually meaningful to check every single page when updating the thumbnails.
For large documents, with thousands of pages, this should be a tiny bit more efficient when e.g. opening the sidebar since we no longer need to check pages that we know have not been rendered.
The way that the cleanup was implemented in PR 12613 has always bothered me slightly, since the `isPageCached`-method that I introduced there always felt quite out-of-place in the `IPDFLinkService`-implementations.
By introducing a new "thumbnailrendered" event, similar to the existing "pagerendered" one, we're able to move the cleanup handling into the `PDFViewer`-class instead.
The way that this was implemented in PR 10217 has always bothered me slightly, since the `isPageVisible`-method that I introduced there always felt quite out-of-place in the `IPDFLinkService`-implementations.
Hence this is instead replaced by a callback-function in `PDFFindController`, to handle the page-visibility checks. Note that since the `PDFViewer`-constructor always sets this callback-function, e.g. the viewer-component examples still work as-is.
- Remove the dependency on fit-curve;
- Improve the way to draw the current line in using a Path2D and
in clearing only the last part of the curve instead of clearing
all the canvas;
- Smooth the curve when drawing to avoid to have some changes after
the drawing ends;
- Make the smoothing a bit less agressive.
Looking at the behaviour in Adobe Reader it doesn't appear that attachments are sorted alphabetically, hence it doesn't seem necessary for us to do so either in the viewer.
An additional benefit of *not* sorting the attachments is that any "actual" attachments are now always placed at the top of the list in the sidebar, and if any `FileAttachment`-annotations exist in the document they will now be appended at the end.
