For encrypted PDF documents without the required permissions set, this patch adds support for disabling of Annotation-editing. However, please note that it also requires that the `pdfjs.enablePermissions` preference is set to `true` (since PDF document permissions could be seen as user hostile).[1] As I started looking at the issue, it soon became clear that *only* trying to fix the issue without slightly re-factor the surrounding code would be somewhat difficult. The following is an overview of the changes in this patch; sorry about the size/scope of this! - Use a new `AnnotationEditorUIManager`-instance *for each* PDF document opened in the GENERIC viewer, to prevent user-added Annotations from "leaking" from one document into the next. - Re-factor the `BaseViewer.#initializePermissions`-method, to simplify handling of temporarily disabled modes (e.g. for both Annotation-rendering and Annotation-editing). - When editing is enabled, let the Editor-buttons be `disabled` until the document has loaded. This way we avoid the buttons becoming clickable temporarily, for PDF documents that use permissions. - Slightly re-factor how the Editor-buttons are shown/hidden in the viewer, and reset the toolbar-state when a new PDF document is opened. - Flip the order of the Editor-buttons and the pre-exising toolbarButtons in the "toolbarViewerRight"-div. (To help reduce the size, a little bit, for the PR that adds new Editor-toolbars.) - Enable editing by default in the development viewer, i.e. `gulp server`, since having to (repeatedly) do that manually becomes annoying after a while. - Finally, support disabling of editing when `pdfjs.enablePermissions` is set; fixes issue 15049. --- [1] Either manually with `about:config`, or using e.g. a [Group Policy](https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates).

Getting Started
Online demo
Please note that the "Modern browsers" version assumes native support for
features such as async/await, optional chaining, nullish coalescing,
and private class fields/methods.
-
Modern browsers: https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html
-
Older browsers: https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/legacy/web/viewer.html
Browser Extensions
Firefox
PDF.js is built into version 19+ of Firefox.
Chrome
- The official extension for Chrome can be installed from the Chrome Web Store. This extension is maintained by @Rob--W.
- Build Your Own - Get the code as explained below and issue
gulp chromium. Then open Chrome, go toTools > Extensionand load the (unpackaged) extension from the directorybuild/chromium.
Getting the Code
To get a local copy of the current code, clone it using git:
$ git clone https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js.git
$ cd pdf.js
Next, install Node.js via the official package or via nvm. You need to install the gulp package globally (see also gulp's getting started):
$ npm install -g gulp-cli
If everything worked out, install all dependencies for PDF.js:
$ npm install
Finally, you need to start a local web server as some browsers do not allow opening
PDF files using a file:// URL. Run:
$ gulp server
and then you can open:
Please keep in mind that this requires a modern and fully up-to-date browser; refer to Building PDF.js for non-development usage of the PDF.js library.
It is also possible to view all test PDF files on the right side by opening:
Building PDF.js
In order to bundle all src/ files into two production scripts and build the generic
viewer, run:
$ gulp generic
If you need to support older browsers, run:
$ gulp generic-legacy
This will generate pdf.js and pdf.worker.js in the build/generic/build/ directory (respectively build/generic-legacy/build/).
Both scripts are needed but only pdf.js needs to be included since pdf.worker.js will
be loaded by pdf.js. The PDF.js files are large and should be minified for production.
Using PDF.js in a web application
To use PDF.js in a web application you can choose to use a pre-built version of the library
or to build it from source. We supply pre-built versions for usage with NPM and Bower under
the pdfjs-dist name. For more information and examples please refer to the
wiki page on this subject.
Including via a CDN
PDF.js is hosted on several free CDNs:
- https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/pdfjs-dist
- https://cdnjs.com/libraries/pdf.js
- https://unpkg.com/pdfjs-dist/
Learning
You can play with the PDF.js API directly from your browser using the live demos below:
More examples can be found in the examples folder. Some of them are using the pdfjs-dist package, which can be built and installed in this repo directory via gulp dist-install command.
