AK's version should see better inlining behaviors, than the LibM one.
We avoid mixed usage for now though.
Also clean up some stale math includes and improper floatingpoint usage.
We now try to parse the first indirect value and see
if it's the `Linearization Parameter Dictionary`. if it's not, we
fallback to reading the xref table from the end of the document
This isn't tested all that well, as the PDF I am testing with only uses
it for black (which is trivial). It can be tested further when LibPDF
is able to process more complex PDFs that actually use this color space
non-trivially.
This code isn't _actually_ used as of right now, but I wrote it at the
same time as all of the code in the previous commit. I realized after
I wrote it that these hint tables aren't super useful if the parser
already has access to the full file. However, this will be useful if
we ever want to stream PDFs from the web (and possibly view them in
the browser).
This is a big step, as most PDFs which are downloaded online will be
linearized. Pretty much the only difference is that the xref structure
is slightly different.
- A newline was assumed to follow the "stream" keyword, when it can also
be a windows-style line break
- Fix not consuming the "endobj" at the end of every indirect object
The Parser should hold information relevant for parsing, whereas the
Document should hold information relevant for displaying pages.
With this in mind, there is no reason for the Document to hold the
xref table and trailer. These objects have been moved to the Parser,
which allows the Parser to expose less public methods (which will be
even more evident once linearized PDFs are supported).
Previously, AK::Function would accept _any_ callable type, and try to
call it when called, first with the given set of arguments, then with
zero arguments, and if all of those failed, it would simply not call the
function and **return a value-constructed Out type**.
This lead to many, many, many hard to debug situations when someone
forgot a `const` in their lambda argument types, and many cases of
people taking zero arguments in their lambdas to ignore them.
This commit reworks the Function interface to not include any such
surprising behaviour, if your function instance is not callable with
the declared argument set of the Function, it can simply not be
assigned to that Function instance, end of story.
Strings can be encoded in either UTF16-BE or UTF8. In either case,
there are a few initial bytes which specify the encoding that must
be checked and also removed from the final string.
IndirectValueRef is so simple that it can be stored directly in the
Value class instead of being heap allocated.
As the comment in Value says, however, in theory the max bits needed to
store is 48 (16 for the generation index and 32(?) for the object
index), but 32 should be good enough for now. We can increase it to u64
later if necessary.
This commit also splits up StreamObject into PlainTextStreamObject and
EncodedStreamObject, which is essentially just a stream object which
does not own its bytes vs one which does.
This commit adds the Renderer class, which is responsible for rendering
a page into a Gfx::Bitmap. There are many improvements to make here,
but this is a great start!
We now follow nested page tree nodes to find all of the actual
page dicts, whereas previously we just assumed the root level
page tree node contained all of the page children directly.
This commit introduces the ability to parse the document catalog dict,
as well as the page tree and individual pages. Pages obviously aren't
fully parsed, as we won't care about most of the fields until we
start actually rendering PDFs.
One of the primary benefits of the PDF format is laziness. PDFs are
not meant to be parsed all at once, and the same is true for pages.
When a Document is constructed, it builds a map of page number to
object index, but it does not fetch and parse any of the pages. A page
is only parsed when a caller requests that particular page (and is
cached going forwards).
Additionally, this commit also adds an object_cast function which
logs bad casts if DEBUG_PDF is set. Additionally, utility functions
were added to ArrayObject and DictObject to get all types of objects
from the collections to avoid having to manually cast.
This commit adds a parser as well as the Reader class, which serves
as a utility to aid in reading the PDF both forwards and in reverse.
The parser currently is capable of reading xref tables, as well as
all values. We don't really do anything with any of this information,
however.
This commit is the start of LibPDF, and introduces some basic structure
objects. This emulates LibJS's Value structure, where Value is a simple
class that can contain a pointer to a more complex Object class with
more data. All of the basic PDF objects have a representation.
