As part of the changes/improvement in PR 14092, we're no longer using the `addLinkAttributes` directly in e.g. the AnnotationLayer-code.
Given that the helper function is now *only* used in the viewer, hence it no longer seems necessary to expose it through the official API.
*Please note:* It seems somewhat unlikely that third-party users were relying *directly* on the helper function, which is why it's not being exported as part of the viewer components. (If necessary, we can always change this later on.)
While these types apparently makes sense in TypeScript environments, we really don't want to extend the *public* API by simply exporting the relevant classes directly in `src/pdf.js` (since they should never be called/initialized manually).
Please see e.g. issue 12384 where this was first requested, and note that a possible work-around was also provided there. This patch simply implements that work-around[1], which will hopefully be helpful to TypeScript users.

[1] Based on the discussion in PR 13957, the two previous patches appear to be necessary for this to actually work.
While some of the output looks worse to my eye, this behavior more
closely matches what I see when I open the PDFs in Adobe acrobat.
Fixes: #4706, #9713, #8245, #1344
*This is a follow-up to PRs 13867 and 13899.*
This patch is tagged `api-minor` for the following reasons:
- It replaces the `renderInteractiveForms`/`includeAnnotationStorage`-options, in the `PDFPageProxy.render`-method, with the single `annotationMode`-option that controls which annotations are being rendered and how. Note that the old options were mutually exclusive, and setting both to `true` would result in undefined behaviour.
- For improved consistency in the API, the `annotationMode`-option will also work together with the `PDFPageProxy.getOperatorList`-method.
- It's now also possible to disable *all* annotation rendering in both the API and the Viewer, since the other changes meant that this could now be supported with a single added line on the worker-thread[1]; fixes 7282.
---
[1] Please note that in order to simplify the overall implementation, we'll purposely only support disabling of *all* annotations and that the option is being shared between the API and the Viewer. For any more "specialized" use-cases, where e.g. only some annotation-types are being rendered and/or the API and Viewer render different sets of annotations, that'll have to be handled in third-party implementations/forks of the PDF.js code-base.
This patch provides an overall simpler *and* more consistent way of handling the `viewport` parameter during printing of XFA forms, since it's now again guaranteed to always be an instance of `PageViewport`.
Furthermore, for anyone attempting to e.g. implement custom printing of XFA forms this probably cannot hurt either.
At this point in time, the `apiCompatibilityParams` is essentially unused with the sole exception of the `disableFontFace` handling for Node.js environments.
Given that `isNodeJS` is a constant now (originally it was a function), we can simply set the correct fallback value for `disableFontFace` directly in the API and clean-up the code a bit here.
- add an option to enable XFA rendering if any;
- for now, let the canvas layer: it could be useful to implement XFAF forms (embedded pdf in xml stream for the background and xfa form for the foreground);
- ui elements in template DOM are pretty close to their html counterpart so we generate a fake html DOM from template one:
- it makes easier to translate template properties to html ones;
- it makes faster the creation of the html element in the main thread.
It seems reasonable to place this alongside the *similar* `getFilenameFromUrl` helper function. This way, with the changes in the next patch, we also avoid having to expose the `isDataScheme` function in the API itself and we instead expose `getPdfFilenameFromUrl` in the API (which feels overall more appropriate).
There's built-in ESLint rule, see `sort-imports`, to ensure that all `import`-statements are sorted alphabetically, since that often helps with readability.
Unfortunately there's no corresponding rule to sort `export`-statements alphabetically, however there's an ESLint plugin which does this; please see https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-sort-exports
The only downside here is that it's not automatically fixable, but the re-ordering is a one-time "cost" and the plugin will help maintain a *consistent* ordering of `export`-statements in the future.
*Note:* To reduce the possibility of introducing any errors here, the re-ordering was done by simply selecting the relevant lines and then using the built-in sort-functionality of my editor.
*The [api-minor] label probably ought to have been added to the original PR, given the changes to the `createAnnotationLayerBuilder` signature (if nothing else).*
This patch fixes the following things:
- Let the `AnnotationLayer.render` method create an `AnnotationStorage`-instance if none was provided, thus making the parameter *properly* optional. This not only fixes the reference tests, it also prevents issues when the viewer components are used.
- Stop exporting `AnnotationStorage` in the official API, i.e. the `src/pdf.js` file, since it's no longer necessary given the change above. Generally speaking, unless absolutely necessary we probably shouldn't export unused things in the API.
- Fix a number of JSDocs `typedef`s, in `src/display/` and `web/` code, to actually account for the new `annotationStorage` parameter.
- Update `web/interfaces.js` to account for the changes in `createAnnotationLayerBuilder`.
- Initialize the storage, in `AnnotationStorage`, using `Object.create(null)` rather than `{}` (which is the PDF.js default).
The f1040-annotations reftest started hanging after #12107. We traced
this to `TypeError: can't access property "getOrCreateValue", storage is
undefined`.
We essentially need to add `annotationStorage` to the parameters in
test/driver.js.
When converting this file to use standard `import`/`export` statements, I sorted the exports in the same order as the imports to simplify things.
However, looking at the list of `export`ed properties it probably doesn't hurt to add a couple of comments to clarify from where specifically the `export`s originated.
Currently some JPEG images are decoded by the built-in PDF.js decoder in `src/core/jpg.js`, while others attempt to use the browser JPEG decoder. This inconsistency seem unfortunate for a number of reasons:
- It adds, compared to the other image formats supported in the PDF specification, a fair amount of code/complexity to the image handling in the PDF.js library.
- The PDF specification support JPEG images with features, e.g. certain ColorSpaces, that browsers are unable to decode natively. Hence, determining if a JPEG image is possible to decode natively in the browser require a non-trivial amount of parsing. In particular, we're parsing (part of) the raw JPEG data to extract certain marker data and we also need to parse the ColorSpace for the JPEG image.
- While some JPEG images may, for all intents and purposes, appear to be natively supported there's still cases where the browser may fail to decode some JPEG images. In order to support those cases, we've had to implement a fallback to the PDF.js JPEG decoder if there's any issues during the native decoding. This also means that it's no longer possible to simply send the JPEG image to the main-thread and continue parsing, but you now need to actually wait for the main-thread to indicate success/failure first.
In practice this means that there's a code-path where the worker-thread is forced to wait for the main-thread, while the reverse should *always* be the case.
- The native decoding, for anything except the *simplest* of JPEG images, result in increased peak memory usage because there's a handful of short-lived copies of the JPEG data (see PR 11707).
Furthermore this also leads to data being *parsed* on the main-thread, rather than the worker-thread, which you usually want to avoid for e.g. performance and UI-reponsiveness reasons.
- Not all environments, e.g. Node.js, fully support native JPEG decoding. This has, historically, lead to some issues and support requests.
- Different browsers may use different JPEG decoders, possibly leading to images being rendered slightly differently depending on the platform/browser where the PDF.js library is used.
Originally the implementation in `src/core/jpg.js` were unable to handle all of the JPEG images in the test-suite, but over the last couple of years I've fixed (hopefully) all of those issues.
At this point in time, there's two kinds of failure with this patch:
- Changes which are basically imperceivable to the naked eye, where some pixels in the images are essentially off-by-one (in all components), which could probably be attributed to things such as different rounding behaviour in the browser/PDF.js JPEG decoder.
This type of "failure" accounts for the *vast* majority of the total number of changes in the reference tests.
- Changes where the JPEG images now looks *ever so slightly* blurrier than with the native browser decoder. For quite some time I've just assumed that this pointed to a general deficiency in the `src/core/jpg.js` implementation, however I've discovered when comparing two viewers side-by-side that the differences vanish at higher zoom levels (usually around 200% is enough).
Basically if you disable [this downscaling in canvas.js](8fb82e939c/src/display/canvas.js (L2356-L2395)), which is what happens when zooming in, the differences simply vanish!
Hence I'm pretty satisfied that there's no significant problems with the `src/core/jpg.js` implementation, and the problems are rather tied to the general quality of the downscaling algorithm used. It could even be seen as a positive that *all* images now share the same downscaling behaviour, since this actually fixes one old bug; see issue 7041.
With these changes SystemJS is now only used, during development, on the worker-thread and in the unit/font-tests, since Firefox is currently missing support for worker modules; please see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247687
Hence all the JavaScript files in the `web/` and `src/display/` folders are now loaded *natively* by the browser (during development) using standard `import` statements/calls, thanks to a nice `import-maps` polyfill.
*Please note:* As soon as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247687 is fixed in Firefox, we should be able to remove all traces of SystemJS and thus finally be able to use every possible modern JavaScript feature.
As part of reducing our reliance on SystemJS in the development viewer, this patch replaces usage of `require` statements with modern standards `import`/`export` statements instead.
If we want to try and move forward with reducing usage of SystemJS, we don't have much choice but to make these kind changes (despite what prior test-results showed, however I'm no longer able to reproduce the issues locally).
As part of trying to reduce the usage of SystemJS in the development viewer, this patch is a necessary step that will allow removal of some `require` statements.
Currently this uses `SystemJS.import` in non-PRODUCTION mode, but it should be possible to replace those with standard *dynamic* `import` calls in the future.
Please note that these changes were done automatically, using `gulp lint --fix`.
Given that the major version number was increased, there's a fair number of (primarily whitespace) changes; please see https://prettier.io/blog/2020/03/21/2.0.0.html
In order to reduce the size of these changes somewhat, this patch maintains the old "arrowParens" style for now (once mozilla-central updates Prettier we can simply choose the same formatting, assuming it will differ here).
Please find additional details about the ESLint rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/prefer-const
With the recent introduction of Prettier this sort of mass enabling of ESLint rules becomes a lot easier, since the code will be automatically reformatted as necessary to account for e.g. changed line lengths.
Note that this patch is generated automatically, by using the ESLint `--fix` argument, and will thus require some additional clean-up (which is done separately).
This removes a couple of, thanks to preceeding code, unnecessary `typeof PDFJSDev` checks, and also fixes a couple of incorrectly implemented (my fault) checks intended for `TESTING` builds.
Note that Prettier, purposely, has only limited [configuration options](https://prettier.io/docs/en/options.html). The configuration file is based on [the one in `mozilla central`](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/.prettierrc) with just a few additions (to avoid future breakage if the defaults ever changes).
Prettier is being used for a couple of reasons:
- To be consistent with `mozilla-central`, where Prettier is already in use across the tree.
- To ensure a *consistent* coding style everywhere, which is automatically enforced during linting (since Prettier is used as an ESLint plugin). This thus ends "all" formatting disussions once and for all, removing the need for review comments on most stylistic matters.
Many ESLint options are now redundant, and I've tried my best to remove all the now unnecessary options (but I may have missed some).
Note also that since Prettier considers the `printWidth` option as a guide, rather than a hard rule, this patch resorts to a small hack in the ESLint config to ensure that *comments* won't become too long.
*Please note:* This patch is generated automatically, by appending the `--fix` argument to the ESLint call used in the `gulp lint` task. It will thus require some additional clean-up, which will be done in a *separate* commit.
(On a more personal note, I'll readily admit that some of the changes Prettier makes are *extremely* ugly. However, in the name of consistency we'll probably have to live with that.)
Note that most (reasonably) modern browsers have supported this for a while now, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ReadableStream#Browser_compatibility
By moving the polyfill into `src/shared/compatibility.js` we can thus get rid of the need to manually export/import `ReadableStream` and simply use it directly instead.
The only change here which *could* possibly lead to a difference in behavior is in the `isFetchSupported` function. Previously we attempted to check for the existence of a global `ReadableStream` implementation, which could now pass (assuming obviously that the preceding checks also succeeded).
However I'm not sure if that's a problem, since the previous check only confirmed the existence of a native `ReadableStream` implementation and not that it actually worked correctly. Finally it *could* just as well have been a globally registered polyfill from an application embedding the PDF.js library.
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.
This file (currently) contains not only DOM-specific helper functions/classes, but is used generally for various helper code relevant for main-thread functionality.
`CMapCompressionType` makes a lot of sense to export, for anyone attempting to implement a custom `CMapReaderFactory`; fixes 10148.
`PermissionFlag` likewise needs to be exported, since otherwise the result of the `getPermissions` API method becomes difficult to interpret; follow-up to 10033.
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
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.
Chrome 60 and earlier does not include credentials (cookies) in requests
made with fetch, regardless of extension permissions. This was fixed in
61.0.3138.0 by
2e231cf052
This patch disables the fetch backend in all affected Chrome versions.
The browser detection is done by checking for a change that coincides
with the release of Chrome 61.
Test case:
1. Copy the `isChromeWithFetchCredentials` function from the patch.
2. Run it in the JS console of Chrome and verify the return value.
Verified results:
- 49.0.2623.75 - false (earliest supported version by us)
- 60.0.3112.90 - false (last major version affected by bug)
- 61.0.3163.100 - true (first major version without bug)
- 65.0.3325.146 - true (current stable)
Test case 2:
1. Build the extension (`gulp chromium`) and load it in Chrome.
2. Open the developer tools, and open any PDF file.
3. In the "Network tab" of the developer tools, look at "request type".
In Chrome 60-: Should be "xhr"
In Chrome 61+: Should be "fetch"
Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, we still need the ability to adjust certain API 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.
Compared to most other options currently/previously residing on the global `PDFJS` object, some of the Worker specific ones (e.g. `workerPort`/`workerSrc`) probably cannot be moved into options provided directly when initializing e.g. `PDFWorker`.
The reason is that in some cases, e.g. the Webpack examples, we try to provide Worker auto-configuration and I cannot see a good solution for that use-case if we completely remove the globally available Worker configuration.
However inline with previous patches for PDF.js version `2.0`, it does seem like a worthwhile goal to move away from storing options directly on the global `PDFJS` object, since that is a pattern we should avoid going forward. Especially since one of the (eventual) goals is to attempt to *completely* remove the global `PDFJS` object, and rely solely on exporting/importing the needed functionality.
By introducing the `GlobalWorkerOptions` we thus have larger flexibility in the future, if/when the global `PDFJS` object will be removed.
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.
Please note that this build target, and the resulting `build/pdf.combined.js` file, is equivalent to setting the `PDFJS.disableWorker` option to `true` which is a performance footgun.
The `fetch` API is only supported for http(s), even in Chrome extensions.
Because of this limitation, we should use the XMLHttpRequest API when the
requested URL is not a http(s) URL.
Fixes#9361
These were removed in PR 9170, since they were unused in the browsers that we'll support in PDF.js version `2.0`.
However looking at the output of Travis, where a subset of the unit-tests are run using Node.js, there's warnings about `btoa` being undefined. This doesn't appear to cause any errors, which probably explains why we didn't notice this before (despite PR 9201).
It is only used in a few places to handle prefixing style properties if
necessary. However, we used it only for `transform`, `transformOrigin`
and `borderRadius`, which according to Can I Use are supported natively
(unprefixed) in the browsers that PDF.js 2.0 supports. Therefore, we can
remove this class, which should help performance too since this avoids
extra function calls in parts of the code that are called often.
Unless the debugging tools (i.e. `PDFBug`) are enabled, or the `browsertest` is running, the `PDFPageProxy.stats` aren't actually used for anything.
Rather than initializing unnecessary `StatTimer` instances, we can simply re-use *one* dummy class (with static methods) for every page. Note that by using a dummy `StatTimer` in this way, rather than letting `PDFPageProxy.stats` be undefined, we don't need to guard *every* single stats collection callsite.
Since it wouldn't make much sense to attempt to use `PDFPageProxy.stats` when stat collection is disabled, it was instead changed to a "private" property (i.e. `PDFPageProxy._stats`) and a getter was added for accessing `PDFPageProxy.stats`. This getter will now return `null` when stat collection is disabled, making that case easy to handle.
For benchmarking purposes, the test-suite used to re-create the `StatTimer` after loading/rendering each page. However, modifying properties on various API code from the outside in this way seems very error-prone, and is an anti-pattern that we really should avoid at all cost. Hence the `PDFPageProxy.cleanup` method was modified to accept an optional parameter, which will take care of resetting `this.stats` when necessary, and `test/driver.js` was updated accordingly.
Finally, a tiny bit more validation was added on the viewer side, to ensure that all the code we're attempting to access is defined when handling `PDFPageProxy` stats.
