The browsers have become smarter and made this hack no longer
functional. Since this is now enforced by practically all browsers,
there is nothing more we can do about this. It is up to the user to
serve the viewer over HTTPS or deal with the warning.
Note that this is in no way specific for PDF.js. Any site with password
inputs served over HTTP has this problem right now. This hack was
provided as a convenience for the users, but nothing more than that.
Since calling `PDFPageView.setPdfPage` will in turn call `PDFPageView.reset`, which cancels all rendering and completely resets the page, it's thus possible that we currently cause some unnecessary re-rendering during the initial loading phase of the viewer.
Depending on the order in which data arrives, it's possible (and in practice always seem to happen) that the `pdfPage` property of the *second* page has already been set during `PDFViewer.setDocument`, by the time that the request for the `pdfPage` is resolved in `PDFViewer._ensurePdfPageLoaded`.
Also, note how the `setPdfPage` call in `PDFViewer.setDocument` is already guarded by this kind of check.
In various viewer files, there's a number of cases where we basically duplicate the functionality of `createPromiseCapability` manually.
As far as I can tell, a couple of these cases have existed for a very long time, and notable even before the `createPromiseCapability` utility function existed.
Also, since we can write ES6 code now, the patch also replaces a couple of `bind` usages with arrow functions in code that's touched in the patch.
[api-minor] Always allow e.g. rendering to continue even if there are errors, and add a `stopAtErrors` parameter to `getDocument` to opt-out of this behaviour (issue 6342, issue 3795, bug 1130815)
This patch implements support for line annotations. Other viewers only
show the popup annotation when hovering over the line, which may have
any orientation. To make this possible, we render an invisible line (SVG
element) over the line on the canvas that acts as the trigger for the
popup annotation. This invisible line has the same starting coordinates,
ending coordinates and width of the line on the canvas.
Other PDF readers, e.g. Adobe Reader and PDFium (in Chrome), will attempt to render as much of a page as possible even if there are errors present.
Currently we just bail as soon the first error is hit, which means that we'll usually not render anything in these cases and just display a blank page instead.
NOTE: This patch changes the default behaviour of the PDF.js API to always attempt to recover as much data as possible, even when encountering errors during e.g. `getOperatorList`/`getTextContent`, which thus improve our handling of corrupt PDF files and allow the default viewer to handle errors slightly more gracefully.
In the event that an API consumer wishes to use the old behaviour, where we stop parsing as soon as an error is encountered, the `stopAtErrors` parameter can be set at `getDocument`.
Fixes, inasmuch it's possible since the PDF files are corrupt, e.g. issue 6342, issue 3795, and [bug 1130815](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1130815) (and probably others too).
- When the minified version is used the resolver of the worker can not find it properly and throws 404 error.
- The problem was that:
- It was getting the current name of the file.
- It was replacing **.js** by **.worker.js**
- When it was loading the unminified version it was working fine because:
- *pdf.js - .js + .worker.js* = **pdf.worker.js**
- When it was loading the minified version it didtn't work because:
- *pdf.min.js - .js + .worker.js* = **pdf.min.worker.js**
- **pdf.min.worker.js** doesn't exist the real file name is **pdf.worker.min.js**
The display layer is responsible for creating the HTML elements for the
annotations from the core layer. If we need to ignore border styling for
the containers of certain elements, the display layer should do so and
not the core layer. I noticed this during the implementation of line
annotations, for which we actually need the original border width in the
display layer, even though we ignore it for the container. If we set the
border style to zero in the core layer, this becomes impossible.
To prevent this, this patch moves the container border removal code from
the core layer to the display layer. This makes the core layer output
the unchanged annotation data and lets the display layer remove any
border styling if necessary.
Note that as discussed on IRC, this makes the viewer slightly slower to load *only* in `gulp server` mode, however the difference seem slight enough that I think it will be fine.
