These classes, and various related code, became unused after PR 21023 with only unit-tests actually running that code now.
Also removes the `isEvalSupported` API option, since the `PostScriptCompiler` was the only remaining code where `eval` was used.
It fixes#5046.
We just generate a mesh for the pattern rectangle where the color of each vertex is computed from the function.
Since the mesh is generated in the worker we don't really take into account the current transform when it's drawn.
That being said, there are maybe some possible improvements in using directly the gpu for the shading creation
which could then take into account the current transform, but it could only work with ps function we can convert
ino wgsl language and simple enough color spaces (gray and rgb).
The main goal is to remove the eval-based interpreter.
In order to have some good performances, the new parser performs some optimizations
on the AST (similar to the ones in the previous implementation),
and the Wasm compiler generates code for the optimized AST.
For now, in case of errors or unsupported features, the Wasm compiler returns null
and the old interpreter is used as a fallback.
Few things are still missing:
- a wasm-based interpreter using a stack (in case the ps code isn't stack-free);
- a better js implementation in case of disabled wasm.
but they will be added in follow-up patches.
This function only has a single call-site (if we ignore the unit-tests), where the colors are split into separate parameters.
Given that all the color components are modified in the exact same way, it seems easier (and shorter) to pass the colors as-is to `applyOpacity` and have it use `Array.prototype.map()` instead.
This code already has an integration-test, however also having a unit-test shouldn't hurt since those are often easier to run and debug (and it nicely complements the existing `outline` unit-tests).
The patch also makes the following smaller changes to the method itself:
- Avoid creating and parsing an empty Array, when doing the `pageRef` search.
- Use `XRef.prototype.fetch` directly, when walking the parent chain, since the check just above ensures that the value is a Reference.
- Use the `lookupRect` helper when parsing the /BBox entry.
Some tests were failing and has been fixed:
- "Hello" + Alef + "(" + Bet: the "(" (neutral) was not considered as a part of the group Alef(Bet and the group wasn't reverted;
- some intermediate neutrals were considered as strong.
This code already isn't used (or even bundled) in the Firefox PDF Viewer, and it also slightly reduces the number of import maps that need to be maintained.
Currently we have no less than three different, but very similar, factories for reading built-in CMap files, standard font files, and wasm files on the main-thread.[1]
These factories were added at different points in time, since I cannot imagine that we'd add essentially three copies of the same code otherwise.
Nowadays these factories are often not even used[2], since worker-thread fetching is used whenever possible to improve performance. In particular, they will *only* be used when either:
- The PDF.js library runs in Node.js environments.
- The user manually sets `useWorkerFetch = false` when calling `getDocument`.
- The user provides custom `CMapReaderFactory`, `StandardFontDataFactory`, and/or `WasmFactory` instances when calling `getDocument`.
By replacing these factories with *a single* new `BinaryDataFactory` factory/option the number of `getDocument` options are thus reduced, which cannot hurt.
This also reduces the total bundle-size of the Firefox PDF Viewer a little bit, and it slightly reduces the number of import maps that need to be maintained.
*Please note:* For users that provide custom `CMapReaderFactory`, `StandardFontDataFactory`, and `WasmFactory` instances when calling `getDocument` this will be a breaking change, however it's unlikely that (many) such users exist.
(The *internal* format data-format of `CMapReaderFactory` was changed in PR 18951, and there hasn't been a single question/complaint about it in well over a year.)

[1] Any new functionality could easily lead to more such factories being added in the future, which wouldn't be great.
[2] Note that the Firefox PDF Viewer no longer use these factories, since it "forcibly" sets `useWorkerFetch = true` during building.
The `BaseCMapReaderFactory`, `BaseStandardFontDataFactory`, and `BaseWasmFactory` classes are all very similar, and the only difference is really in their respective `fetch` methods.
By have the worker-thread "compute" the complete `filename` it's possible to simplify the `BaseCMapReaderFactory.prototype.fetch` method, which will allow future improvements to all of these classes.
A couple of things to note:
- This code is unused, and it's not even bundled, in the Firefox PDF Viewer.
- In browsers it's unused by default, and worker-thread fetching will always be used when possible since that's more efficient.
*Please note:* For users that provide a custom `CMapReaderFactory` instance when calling `getDocument` this could be a breaking change, however it's unlikely that any such users exist.
(The *internal* format of this data was changed previously in PR 18951, and there hasn't been a single question/complaint about it in well over a year.)
Given that these classes are only used from the "FetchBinaryData" message handler, the `name`/`filename` parameters should never actually be missing and if they are that's a bug elsewhere in the code-base.
Furthermore a missing `name`/`filename` parameter would result in a "nonsense" URL and the actual data fetching would then fail instead, hence keeping this old validation code just doesn't seem necessary.
After the changes in PR 20197 the code in the `TranslatedFont.prototype.send` method is not all that readable[1] given how it handles e.g. the `charProcOperatorList` data used with Type3 fonts.
Since this is the only spot where `Font.prototype.exportData` is used, it seems much simpler to move the `compileFontInfo` call there and *directly* return the intended data rather than messing with it after the fact.
Finally, while it doesn't really matter, the patch flips the order of the `charProcOperatorList` and `extra` properties throughout the code-base since the former is used with Type3 fonts while the latter (effectively) requires that debugging is enabled.

[1] I had to re-read it twice, also looking at all the involved methods, in order to convince myself that it's actually correct.
This is an old API-parameter that is now unused within the PDF.js project itself, and its description says that it's (partly) being used for "range requests operations".
Note that the `length` API-parameter is used to set the *initial* `contentLength` in various `BasePDFStreamReader` implementations, however it's always overridden by the "Content-Length" header (sent by the server) when that one exists *and* is a valid number. While we currently fallback to the keep the initial `contentLength` otherwise, note however how in that case range requests will always be *disabled* and thus the only spot in the code-base [where `fullReader.contentLength` is necessary](873378b718/src/core/worker.js (L230-L236)) cannot actually be reached.
Hence the only possible reason to use the `length` API-parameter would be for improved progress reporting[1] during streaming of PDF data in rare cases where the "Content-Length" header is missing/invalid, but the user *somehow* has information from another source about the correct `length` of the PDF document.
That situation feels very much like an edge-case, but it's obviously impossible to know if someone is depending on it. However, please note that there's a work-around available for users affected by this removal:
- Implement a `PDFDataRangeTransport` instance together with custom data-fetching[2], since in that case its `length`-parameter will always be used as-is.
Finally, updates various `BasePDFStreamReader` implementations to only set the `_isRangeSupported` field once the headers are available (since previously we'd just overwrite the "initial" value anyway).

[1] I.e. to avoid the "indeterminate" loadingBar being displayed in the viewer.
[2] This is what e.g. the Firefox PDF Viewer uses.
On the worker-thread only the static `write` methods are actually used, and on the main-thread only class instances are being created.
Hence this, after PR 20197, leads to a bunch of dead code in both of the *built* `pdf.mjs` and `pdf.worker.js` files.
This patch reduces the size of the `gulp mozcentral` output by `21 419` bytes, i.e. `21` kilo-bytes, which I believe is way too large of a saving to not do this.
(I can't even remember the last time we managed to reduce build-size this much with a single patch.)
This patch adds right-click support for images in the PDF, allowing
users to download them. To minimize memory consumption, we:
- Do not store the images separately, and instead crop them out of the
PDF page canvas
- Only extract the images when needed (i.e. when the user right-clicks
on them), rather than eagery having all of them available.
To do so, we layer one empty 0x0 canvas per image, stretched to cover
the whole image, and only populate its contents on right click.
These images need to be inside the text layer: they cannot be _behind_
it, otherwise they would be covered by the text layer's container and
not be clickable, and they cannot be in front of it, otherwise they
would make the text spans unselectable.
This feature is managed by a new preference, `imagesRightClickMinSize`:
- when it's set to `-1`, right-click support is disabled
- when set to `0`, all images are available for right click
- when set to a positive integer, only images whose width and height are
greater than or equal to that value (in the PDF page frame of
reference) are available for right click.
This features is disabled by default outside of MOZCENTRAL, as it
significantly degrades the text selection experience in non-Firefox
browsers.
A number of these unit-tests didn't actually cover the intended code-paths, since many of them *accidentally* matched the "file size is smaller than two range requests"-check.
The patch also updates `validateRangeRequestCapabilities` to use return-value names that are consistent with the class fields used in the various stream implementations.
This method is usually used with loops, and it should be a tiny bit more efficient to use an iterator directly rather than first iterating through ` Map`-values to create a temporary `Array` that we finally iterate through at the call-site.
Note that the `getRawValues` method is old code, and originally the `Dict` class stored its data in a regular `Object`, hence why the old code was written that way.
