This patch resolves the responsiveness issues for the toolbar in the
viewer. Depending on the language (for example the Dutch language),
elements could overlap when the viewport size is reduced.
The main issue here is that the CSS rules are unnecessarily complex and
handle lots of different cases (LTR/RTL, displacements for specific
viewport widths, et cetera). By removing this complexity and letting the
browser handle the responsiveness, we not only get simpler CSS rules and
HTML mark-up, but the responsiveness issues are mostly fixed at the same
time. We no longer have to position the elements manually (by setting
their `left` attribute value) anymore.
It seems that certain bad PDF generators can create badly encoded "Prefix" entries for Page Labels, one example being http://ukjewishfilm.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Jewish-Film-Festival-Programme-ONLINE.pdf.
Unfortunately I didn't come across such a PDF file while adding the API support for Page Labels, but with them now being used in the viewer I just found this issue. With this patch, we now display the Page Labels in the same way as Adobe Reader.
The original code is difficult to read and, more importantly, performs
actions that are not described in the specification. It replaces empty
names with a backtick and an index, but this behavior is not described
in the specification. While the specification is not entirely clear
about what should happen in this case, it does specify that the `T`
field is optional and that multiple field dictionaries may have the same
fully qualified name, so to achieve this it makes the most sense to
ignore missing `T` fields during construction of the field name. This is
the most specification-compliant solution and, judging by opened issue #6623, also the required and expected behavior.
I got tired of staring at a bunch of localization warnings every time that I open the console, hence this patch adds the missing translations to the Swedish locale.
- Renamed startPrint to performPrint to emphasize that the method
does not start the print process (preparing pages for the printer),
but that it does the actual printing (sending pages off to the
printer).
- Put performPrint in the PDFPrintService, so that it can be
overridden if needed.
- Move the global scratchCanvas to PDFPrintService. This is mainly to
make it easier to reason about the state of scratchCanvas. In practice
there is no difference because only one PDFPrintService instance can
be instantiated at any given time.
- Move all logic of using the rendered page to one location.
This makes it easier to replace the printing logic later, when I add
special handling to out-of-process frames in the Chrome extension.
Make sure that the print service is stopped as soon as possible when
aborted, and that it is not possible for a (slow) promise to
accidentally wipe the state of a print job that was started later.
Remove/deprecate specifying a pageNumber directly after the hash symbol (#), to improve compatibility since other PDF viewers don't support this form (issue 7746)
There's no mention of our `#{pagenum}` form in http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf, and Adobe Reader doesn't seem to support it either.
Hence this patch removes support for it in the extensions, but keeps it in the `GENERIC` build with a deprecation warning and a fallback to handle it as a destination.
Fixes 7746.
This patch implements the page label functionality in a similar way as Adobe Reader.
For documents with page labels, if a non-existent page label is entered we'll try to fallback to the page number instead.
The patch also includes a preference (`disablePageLabels`), to make it easy to opt-out of using page labels if the user/implementor so wishes.
The way that `get/set currentPageLabel` is implemented in `PDFViewer`, is as wrappers for the corresponding `get/set currentPageNumber` functions, since that seemed like the cleanest solution.
The page labels are purposely *only* added to the page controls in the viewer UI, and not stored in e.g. the `ViewHistory`. Since doing so would mean adding unnecessary code complexity, without any real added value, and would also mean delaying the inital loading of PDF documents.
Note that this patch will ignore page labels if they are identical to standard page numbering, since in this case displaying the page labels adds no value (but only UI noise). The reason for handling this case specially, is that in practice a surprising number of PDF files include "pointless" page labels.
The following reasoning was used for deciding to remove the "Page: " label, and replace it with a tooltip, from the main toolbar:
- We have no other visible labels in the *main* toolbar (e.g. the Zoom dropdown doesn't have a label, but only a tooltip).
- We already hide the "Page: " label when the viewer is narrow.
- The varying width of the "Page: " label in different locales is already causing issues for many languages, with overlap in the main toolbar as a result.
Trying to create responsive CSS styles that works well in all locales is already difficult, and if we add support for page labels that will only further compound the issues.
- Some PDF viewers (e.g. Adobe Reader, pdfium in Chrome) doesn't show labels in the UI by default.
In some PDF files, the first element (i.e. the one containing either a `Ref` or a `Number` pointing to a page) of the explicit destination Array may be bogus.
One such example is actually the file `pdf.pdf` in the test-suite, where some destinations are incompletely specified. One such example being the `G1.998360` destination whose explicit destination Array contains `[null, /XYZ, 54, 488, null]`, i.e. the destination page is `null`.
Hence this patch adds a bit more validation for that case. It also adds an additional check to ensure that the resulting `pageNumber` is non-negative, and finally a couple more error messages for existing cases of malformed data.
In general we neither want, nor can, support arbitrary `Launch` actions. But in practice, all the cases we've seen so far just contains relative URLs to other PDF files. Building on PR 7689, we can thus at least support basic `Launch` actions.
Note that in `FIREFOX/MOZCENTRAL/CHROME` builds of the standard viewer the `docBaseUrl` parameter will be set by default, since in that case it makes sense to use the current URL as a base.
For the `GENERIC` viewer, or the API itself, it doesn't make sense to try and set the `docBaseUrl` by default. However, custom deployments/implementations may still find the parameter useful.
Note that this will automatically reject any relative URL.
To make the API more useful to consumers, URLs that are rejected will be available via the `unsafeUrl` property in the data object returned by `PDFPageProxy_getAnnotations`.
The patch also adds a bit more validation of the data for `Named` actions.
This not only reduces code duplication, but it also allow us to easily support the same kind of URLs we currently do for Link annotations in the Outline as well.
