For PDF files with multiple `/Filter`s, where the `/Length` entry is zero, we fail to render the file correctly. The reason is that `maybeLength` is `null` for the every filter except the first, and `!maybeLength` is thus truthy.
Hence it seems that we should completely ignore the `/Length` entry and also explicitly check `maybeLength === 0`.
Note that I've not (yet) come across a PDF file with this issue in the wild, but given all the stupid things PDF generators do I wouldn't be surprised if such a file actually exists. In order to prevent a possible future bug, I'm submitting this patch which includes a hand-edited PDF file that we currently cannot render correctly (but e.g. Adobe Reader can).
Directly use the hexadecimal representation, just like the
`AnnotationFlags`, to avoid calculations and to improve readability.
This allows us to simplify the unit tests for text widget annotations as
well.
When opening a PDF file that triggers the browser fallback bar in the Firefox addon/built-in version, e.g. http://web.archive.org/web/20110918100215/http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf (with forms *disabled*), and then reloading the document an error can be thrown.
The reason is that displaying the fallback bar triggers 'resize' events, and they can arrive *before* the viewer has had a chance to run all the necessary initialization code.
Unfortunately PR 7633 missed, and I didn't catch it during review, to update `test/driver.js` such that the `forms` tests takes the correct code-path.
This resultet in the `forms` reference test images looking better than they should, and more problematicly differing from the rendering in the viewer.
With this patch, the tests now correctly skip over any `Appearance` streams.
The `forms` tests now highlights quite clearly (e.g. look at `annotation-tx2.pdf`/`annotation-tx3.pdf`) that we cannot just skip the `Appearance` streams when rendering forms. Hence we're going to have to find a way to fix that *before* enabling forms by default, since both display *and* print would look completely wrong otherwise.
Finally, this patch also uncovers one more existing bug that still needs to be fixed, since the current `rasterizeAnnotationLayer` in `test/driver.js` isn't able to handle the contents of e.g. `<input>` and `<textarea>`.
When debugging issue 7643, I noticed that the `forms` tests currently doesn't look like the rendering in the viewer (with `renderInteractiveForms = true` set).
After scratching my head for a little while, I realized that PR 7633 make the implicit assumption that `Page_getOperatorList` (in `core/document.js`) is called *before* fetching the annotation with `PDFPageProxy_getAnnotations` (in `display/api.js`).
Hence this patch, that changes it so that we instead pass in the `renderInteractiveForms` parameter to `Annotation_appendToOperatorList` to ensure that it's always correctly set.
A user encountered a response that looks like:
URL: some gibberish
Headers:
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="something.pdf"
In the Chrome extension, the "attachment" content disposition is almost
always ignored (i.e. the PDF Viewer will try to view it anyway). So we
need to fall back to the Content-Disposition header if the URL check is
inconclusive.
If interactive forms are enabled, then the display layer takes care of
rendering the form elements. There is no need to draw them on the canvas
as well. This also leads to issues when values are prefilled, because
the text fields are transparent, so the contents that have been rendered
onto the canvas will be visible too.
We address this issue by passing the `renderInteractiveForms` parameter
to the render task and handling it when the page is rendered (i.e., when
the canvas is rendered).
This patch improves the unit tests by testing the support for read-only
and multiline fields. Moreover, we add a reference test to ensure that
the text widgets are not only rendered, but also that their contents are
styled properly.
Finally, we perform minor improvements in `src/core/annotation.js`, for
example adding missing comments.
For embedded Type1 fonts without included `ToUnicode`/`Encoding` data, attempt to improve text selection by using the `builtInEncoding` to amend the `toUnicode` map (issue 6901, issue 7182, issue 7217, bug 917796, bug 1242142)
I intended to provide proper benchmarking results here, as outlined in https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Benchmarking-your-changes, but after wasting a couple of hours over the weekend getting weird results I gave up.
It appears that there's a lot of, i.e. way too much, variance between subsequent runs of `text` tests for the results to be meaningful.
(Previously I've only benchmarked `eq` tests, so I don't know if the `text` tests has never worked well or if it's a newer problem. For reference, please see the results of back-to-back benchmark runs on the current `master` with a *very* simple manifest file: [link here].)
Instead I used `console.time/timeEnd` in `appendText` and `expandTextDivs` to be able to compare the performance with/without the patch. The entire viewer was (skip-cache) reloaded between measurements, and the result are available here: [link here].
Given the troubles I've had with benchmarking, I've not yet computed any statistics on the results (e.g. mean, variance, confidence intervals, and so on).
However, just by looking at the data I think it's safe to say that this patch first of all doesn't seem to regress the current performance. Secondly it certainly looks *very* likely that this patch actually improves the performance, especially for the one-glyph-per-text-div case (cf. issue 7224).
Re: issue 7584.
Even though this patch passes all tests (unit/font/reference) locally, including the new ones that I added in PR 7621, I'm still a bit nervous about modifying the code that choose the fallback encoding for fonts without an `/Encoding` entry.
Note that over the years this code has been changed on a number of occasions, see a possibly incomplete [list here], to deal with various cases of incorrect font data.
According to the PDF specification, see http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf#G8.1904184, it seems that we should fallback to the `StandardEncoding` for Nonsymbolic fonts.
There's obviously a risk that fixing this particular issue *could* break other PDF files for which we don't have tests. However I've tried to change the logic as little as possible in this patch, to hopefully reduce possible breakage.
Based on debugging numerous font issue, it seems that a lot of fonts actually set the Symbolic flag, even when they are in fact *not* Symbolic. Fonts actually marked as Nonsymbolic seem to be somewhat less common, which I hope should reduce the risk of the patch somewhat.
Fixes 7580.
Note that in `parseCodestream` I purposly left the `throw new Error` instances inside of the `try` block, since we don't want to throw any `Errors` while in recovery mode.
Finally somewhat unrelated to the rest of the patch, but I moved the `doNotRecover` variable declaration outside of the `try` block to avoid variable hoisting given that it's accessed inside the `catch` block.
