Note that I initially tried to add this as a parameter to the `PDFPageProxy.render` method, such that it could be passed to `PartialEvaluator.getOperatorList`.
However, given all the different code-paths that call `getOperatorList` (there's a bunch only in `annotation.js`), this seemed to very quickly become unwieldy and thus difficult to maintain compared to simply using the existing `evaluatorOptions`.
This patch lets the AcroForms example make use of the built-in interactive
forms functionality in PDF.js. This makes the example:
- much easier to understand;
- more feature-complete;
- in sync with the core when new functionality is added;
- similar to the other examples in terms of structure.
Fixes extra canvas create calls.
Fixes unnecessary call of `new DOMCanvasFactory`.
Fixes undefined error of DOMCanvasFactory.
Fixes failures in some of the tests.
Fixes expected behaviour.
Remove unused vars.
The `Driver._cleanup` method is removing all stylesheets between test runs, which causes "TypeError: styleElement.parentNode is null" console errors in `FontLoader.clear`.
As can also be seen during various tests, some of the changes I made in PR 7972 unfortunately causes console errors.
It seems that I didn't test this properly, since it *should* have been obvious to me that while tests are triggered using Node.js, the files in question are run within the *browser*.
My apologies for not testing this thoroughly, and for causing unnecessary churn in the code!
The last (and only) usage of `MOZ_CENTRAL` was removed in PR 3036, so it's been unused for almost four years now.
If we need to have different code-paths for `FIREFOX`/`MOZCENTRAL` builds, the preprocessor should (and has) been used instead.
See http://eslint.org/docs/rules/brace-style.
Having the opening/closing braces on the same line can often make the code slightly more difficult to read, in particular for `if`/`else if` statements, compared to using new lines.
This patch also, for consistency with `mozilla-central`, enables the [`no-iterator`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-iterator) rule. Note that this rule didn't require a single code change.
This property was added all the way back in PR 542, but hasn't actually been relied upon ever since PR 692.
Note that there's a `isStream()` utility function which replaced the property years ago, hence the `isStream` property is now dead code.
Other PDF viewers, e.g. Adobe Reader, seem to append `FileAttachment`s to their attachments views.
One obvious difference in PDF.js is that we cannot append all the annotations on document load, since that would require parsing *every* page. Despite that, it still seems like a good idea to add `FileAttachment`s, since it's thus possible to access all the various types of attachments from a single place.
*Note:* With the previous patch we display a notification when a `FileAttachment` is added to the sidebar, which thus makes appending the contents of these annotations to the sidebar slightly more visible/useful.
A longstanding issue with the viewer is that you cannot tell if a PDF document includes an outline and/or attachments without actually opening the sidebar.
This patch contains a suggested solution for that, by displaying an hide-on-interaction notification on the `sidebarToggle` button (and the relevant sidebar view buttons). Note that this was inspired by e.g. the update notification that is displayed on the menu button in Firefox.
For an initial implementation, I've tried to do this in such a way that the notification isn't too distracting. Without being an UX expert, I don't think that we'd want something too in-your-face, in order to keep the viewer toolbars reasonable clean. (We probably do *not* want e.g. an entire notification bar in these situations, since that would take up unnecessary screen space and require actions from the user to close.)
However it's certainly possible that the current notification might simply be *too* inconspicuous to be truly helpful to users, but we could probably iterate on that if the feature itself is deemed useful.
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-unused-vars; note that this patch purposely uses the same rule options as in `mozilla-central`, such that it fixes part of issue 7957.
It wasn't, in my opinion, entirely straightforward to enable this rule compared to the already existing rules. In many cases a `var descriptiveName = ...` format was used (more or less) to document the code, and I choose to place the old variable name in a trailing comment to not lose that information.
I welcome feedback on these changes, since it wasn't always entirely easy to know what changes made the most sense in every situation.
Given the nature of `EOF` and `isEOF`, it seems to me that they really ought to be placed in `core/primitives.js` instead.
In general, it doesn't seem great to have to depend on the entire `core/parser.js` file for such simple primitives/helper functions.
In particular, while `core/ps_parser.js` is completely separate from `core/parser.js` with regards to its function, it still depends on the latter for just *one* primitive.
Note that compared to e.g. PR 7389, this will not reduce the number of dependencies for `core/ps_parser`, however the new dependency IMHO makes more sense.
Given that this patch causes a lot of churn in the addon code, I wouldn't really mind if we ultimately decide against doing this and just add a rule exception in mozilla-central instead.[1]

[1] Note that I used the ESLint `--fix` option, hence writing this commit message actually took longer time than the creation of the patch :-)
PR 7322 added the `PdfJsNetwork.jsm` file, instead of the general `src/core/network.js` file for the Firefox addon. However, `make.js` wasn't updated to actually stop including the now obsolete network file.
