If interactive forms are enabled, then the display layer takes care of
rendering the form elements. There is no need to draw them on the canvas
as well. This also leads to issues when values are prefilled, because
the text fields are transparent, so the contents that have been rendered
onto the canvas will be visible too.
We address this issue by passing the `renderInteractiveForms` parameter
to the render task and handling it when the page is rendered (i.e., when
the canvas is rendered).
I intended to provide proper benchmarking results here, as outlined in https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Benchmarking-your-changes, but after wasting a couple of hours over the weekend getting weird results I gave up.
It appears that there's a lot of, i.e. way too much, variance between subsequent runs of `text` tests for the results to be meaningful.
(Previously I've only benchmarked `eq` tests, so I don't know if the `text` tests has never worked well or if it's a newer problem. For reference, please see the results of back-to-back benchmark runs on the current `master` with a *very* simple manifest file: [link here].)
Instead I used `console.time/timeEnd` in `appendText` and `expandTextDivs` to be able to compare the performance with/without the patch. The entire viewer was (skip-cache) reloaded between measurements, and the result are available here: [link here].
Given the troubles I've had with benchmarking, I've not yet computed any statistics on the results (e.g. mean, variance, confidence intervals, and so on).
However, just by looking at the data I think it's safe to say that this patch first of all doesn't seem to regress the current performance. Secondly it certainly looks *very* likely that this patch actually improves the performance, especially for the one-glyph-per-text-div case (cf. issue 7224).
Re: issue 7584.
Moreover, we refactor the code a bit to extract code that is shared
between the two branches and we only apply text alignment (and create
the array) when it is actually defined, since it's optional and left is
already the default.
This patch is the first step towards implementing support for
interactive forms (AcroForms). It makes it possible to render text
widget annotations exactly like Adobe Reader/Acrobat.
Everything we implement for AcroForms is disabled by default using a
preference, mainly because it is not ready to use yet, but has to
implemented in many steps to avoid complexity. The preference allows us
to work with the code while not exposing the behavior by default. Mainly
storing entered values and printing them is still absent, which would be
minimal requirements for enabling this by default.
Currently, we only support text widget annotations (field type 'Tx')
partially. However, the current code does not make this entirely clear
and does not provide a warning when an unsupported field type is
encountered, making it harder to determine why rendering fails.
Moreover, in the display layer we make no distinction between the
various types of widget annotations, causing the code for text widget
annotations to also be executed for other types of widget annotations in
a fallback situation.
This patch improves the structure of the widget annotation code. In the
core layer, we use the same structure we use for non-widget annotations
in the factory and provide a clear warning when an unsupported type is
encountered. In the display layer, we do the same and split the
`WidgetAnnotationElement` class into two classes, namely
`TextWidgetAnnotationElement` for text widget annotations and
`WidgetAnnotationElement` for other unsupported annotations as a
fallback. From this it clear that we only support text widget
annotations and nothing else.
In the case where the document was destroyed, we were rejecting the `Promise` in `JpegDecode` with a string instead of an `Error`. The patch also brings the wording more inline with other such rejections.
Use the `isInt` utility function when validating the `pageNumber` parameter in `WorkerTransport_getPage`, to make it more obvious what's actually happening. There's also a couple more unit-tests added, to ensure that we always fail in the expected way.
Finally, we can simplify the rejection handling in `WorkerTransport_getPageIndexByRef` somewhat. (Note that the only reason for using `catch` here is that since the promise is rejected on the worker side, the `reason` becomes a string instead of an `Error` which is why we "re-reject" on the display side.)
This patch avoids having to calculate the scale twice by saving it in
the properties object.
Moreover, we remove a temporary variable and place parentheses around a
calculation inside a string concatenation.
This patch improves performance by avoiding unnecessary type
conversions, which also help the JIT for optimizations.
Moreover, this patch fixes issues with the div expansion code where
`textScale` would be undefined in a division. Because of the `dataset`
usage, other comparisons evaluated to `true` while `false` would have
been correct. This makes the expansion mode now work correctly for cases
with, for example, each glyph in one div.
The polyfill for `WeakMap` has been provided by @yurydelendik.
We pass many parameters to `appendText` while we might as well pass the
`task` object that contains them. This saves a few lines of code and
makes the signature of `appendText` more clear. We do the same for
`expand`, which is useful for the next commit in which we replace
`div.dataset` with a `WeakMap`.
Furthermore, this patch adds a missing parameter to a comment block to
make it clear which parameters remain.
1. Expanding divs to improve text selection. (Yury)
2. Adding enhanceTextSelection as an option.
3. Moving feature functionality from text_layer_builder.js to text_layer.js.
4. Added expandTextDivs method to only load expanded divs on first click, and only show on subsequent clicks
From the discussion in issue 7445, it seems that there may be cases where an API consumer would want to get the text content as is, without combined text items.
Currently the `getPageIndex` method will happily return `0`, even if the `Ref` parameter doesn't actually point to a proper /Page dictionary.
Having the API trust that the consumer is doing the right thing seems error-prone, hence this patch which adds a check for this case.
Given that the `Catalog_getPageIndex` method isn't used in any hot part of the codebase, this extra check shouldn't be a problem.
(Note: in the standard viewer, it is only ever used from `PDFLinkService_navigateTo` if a destination needs to be resolved during document loading, which isn't common enough to be an issue IMHO.)
These have been found using `gulp lint` in combination with the `unused:
true` parameter for JSHint. Unfortunately there are too many false
positives to enable this feature, but now that most globals have been
removed because of the conversion to UMD the results are much more
useful than before.
This naming issue has been present since PR 3529, but at least I cannot find any issues/bugs that seem to have been caused by it, which is good.
The patch also removes an unnecessary `else` branch, since an already existing `break` means that it's redundant.
Fixes 7232.
- Add support for the 'NewWindow' property.
- Ensure that destinations are applied to the *remote* document, instead of the current one.
- Handle the `F` entry being a standard string, instead of a dictionary.
Some browsers render certain special characters with width 0, others with strictly positive width. (For example, the Greek Delta, Δ, has width 0 in Google Chrome, and a positive width in Firefox.) The `if` clause in operation so far results in different text layer DOM trees for different browsers.
This commit fixes that by adding the elements independently of their width.
