We're currently making use of `uniquePrefix`/`idCounters` in multiple files, to create unique object id's, and adding a new occurrence of them requires some care to ensure that an object id isn't accidentally reused.
Furthermore, having to pass around multiple parameters as we currently do seem like something you want to avoid.
Instead, this patch adds a factory which means that there's only *one* thing that needs to be passed around. And since it's now only necessary to call a method in order to obtain a unique object id, the details are thus abstracted away at the call-sites which avoids accidental reuse of object id's.
To test that this works as expected a very simple `Page` unit-test is added, and the existing `Annotation layer` tests are also adjusted slightly.
Using `else` after `return` is not necessary, and can often lead to unnecessarily cluttered code. By using the `no-else-return` rule in ESLint we can avoid this pattern, see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-else-return.
According to https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar#Past_branch_dates: The *last* ESR version of Firefox 38 was released in April this year, and since June the only available ESR version has been based on Firefox 45.
Now that Seamonkey has *finally* released a new version, i.e. 2.46 which should correspond to Firefox 49, there doesn't seem to be any reason to keep the fallback code around in the addon anymore.
[api-minor] Ensure that the `getDocument` Promise is rejected if the `loadingTask` is destroyed, or an `Error` is thrown, inside of the `onPassword` callback (issue 7806)
We're already passing in a, currently unused, `PdfManager` instance when initializing the `XRef`. To avoid having to pass a single `password` parameter around, we could thus simply get the `password` through the `PdfManager` instance instead.
This patch also removes the `UpdatePassword` message, in favour of using the `sendWithPromise` method of `MessageHandler`.
Furthermore, the patch also refactors the `BasePdfManager_updatePassword`/`BasePdfManager_passwordChanged` methods (in pdf_manager.js), and the `pdfManagerReady` function (in worker.js).
I recently happened to look at the code I wrote for PR 5964, which fixed [bug 1157493](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1157493), and I quickly realized that the solution is way too simplistic.
The fact that only using the `length` of a `Differences` array worked seems more like a happy accident for a particular set of font data, but could just as easily be incorrect for other PDF files.
Note that in practice, the case where the `Encoding` entry is a regular `Dict` (and not a `Ref` or `Name`) is very rare, hence I don't think that we really need to worry about having to reparse this data.
Also, the performance of this code-block is quite a bit better by updating the `hash` with the data from the *entire* `Differences` array, instead of at every loop iteration.
Let `finishPaintTask` in pdf_page_view.js return a promise instead, to avoid having to throw in the `paintTask.promise` rejection handler, and don't reject the `PDFPageView_draw` promise when rendering is `cancelled`
Changing this particular code makes me somewhat nervous about regressions, since PR 5770 necessitated the follow-up PR 6270.
However, the patch passes all tests added in those PRs (and obviously all other tests). Furthermore, I've manually checked all the issues/bugs referenced in PRs 5770 and 6270 without finding any issues.
**Please note:** This patch fixes *only* the font bug, not the SVG conversion, present on pages two and three of the PDF file in issue 7901.
As mentioned on IRC yesterday, we currently throw even when rendering is `cancelled`, which is annoying when the devtools are active. Furthermore, since `cancelled` isn't really an error, rejecting the `PDFPageView_draw` promise seems somewhat strange in that case.
Modern browsers support styling radio buttons and checkboxes with CSS.
This makes the implementation much easier, and the fallback for older
browsers is still decent.
I haven't got an example where the current code breaks, but given all the previous cases we've seen where PDF generators use indirect objects in Arrays it makes sense to fix this pro-actively.
I've modified the relevant unit-tests slightly, and they would *not* pass without the code changes in this patch.
*Note:* `Dict_getArray` only dereferences Array elements on the "top-level", to avoid recursion issues. Furthermore if you have to loop through the Array at the call-site anyway, then using `Dict_get` in combination with `XRef_fetchIfRef` is a tiny bit more efficient.
*Please note that most of the necessary code adjustments were made in PR 7890.*
ESLint has a number of advantageous properties, compared to JSHint. Among those are:
- The ability to find subtle bugs, thanks to more rules (e.g. PR 7881).
- Much more customizable in general, and many rules allow fine-tuned behaviour rather than the just the on/off rules in JSHint.
- Many more rules that can help developers avoid bugs, and a lot of rules that can be used to enforce a consistent coding style. The latter should be particularily useful for new contributors (and reduce the amount of stylistic review comments necessary).
- The ability to easily specify exactly what rules to use/not to use, as opposed to JSHint which has a default set. *Note:* in future JSHint version some of the rules we depend on will be removed, according to warnings in http://jshint.com/docs/options/, so we wouldn't be able to update without losing lint coverage.
- More easily disable one, or more, rules temporarily. In JSHint this requires using a numeric code, which isn't very user friendly, whereas in ESLint the rule name is simply used instead.
By default there's no rules enabled in ESLint, but there are some default rule sets available. However, to prevent linting failures if we update ESLint in the future, it seemed easier to just explicitly specify what rules we want.
Obviously this makes the ESLint config file somewhat bigger than the old JSHint config file, but given how rarely that one has been updated over the years I don't think that matters too much.
I've tried, to the best of my ability, to ensure that we enable the same rules for ESLint that we had for JSHint. Furthermore, I've also enabled a number of rules that seemed to make sense, both to catch possible errors *and* various style guide violations.
Despite the ESLint README claiming that it's slower that JSHint, https://github.com/eslint/eslint#how-does-eslint-performance-compare-to-jshint, locally this patch actually reduces the runtime for `gulp` lint (by approximately 20-25%).
A couple of stylistic rules that would have been nice to enable, but where our code currently differs to much to make it feasible:
- `comma-dangle`, controls trailing commas in Objects and Arrays (among others).
- `object-curly-spacing`, controls spacing inside of Objects.
- `spaced-comment`, used to enforce spaces after `//` and `/*. (This is made difficult by the fact that there's still some usage of the old preprocessor left.)
Rules that I indend to look into possibly enabling in follow-ups, if it seems to make sense: `no-else-return`, `no-lonely-if`, `brace-style` with the `allowSingleLine` parameter removed.

Move the `Preferences` initialization/fetching code to the top of `PDFViewerApplication.initialize`, to enable using them when initializing e.g. the viewer components
Ideally we'd remove the 'localized' event from the `eventBus`, but for backwards compatibility we keep it in `GENERIC` builds.
Note that while we want to ensure that the direction attribute of the HTML is updated as soon as the `localized` Promise is resolved, we purposely wait until the viewer has been initialized to ensure that the 'localized' event will always be dispatched.
With `bindEvents()` now being called after the viewer has been initialized, we no longer need to have `PDFViewerApplication.initialized` checks in the event handler functions.
Furthermore by moving the `window.addEventListener`s to a helper method, `PDFViewerApplication.initialized` checks are no longer necessary in the event handlers, hence we thus address part of issue 7797 here as well.
Note that in quick testing using `console.time/timeEnd`, both locally and with the Firefox addon, the total run time of the *entire* `PDFViewerApplication.initialize` function does not seem to change with this patch.
