Text can be rendered in various ways in PDFs: Filled, stroked,
both filled and stroked, set as clipping path, hidden, or
some combinations thereof.
We don't implement any of this at the moment except "filled".
Hidden text is used in scanned documents: The image of the scan is
drawn in the background, and then OCRd text is "drawn" as hidden
on top of the scanned bitmap. That way, the (hidden) text can be
selected and copied, and it looks like you're selecting text from
the scanned bitmap. Find-in-page also works similarly. (We currently
have neither text selection nor find-in-page, but one day we will.)
Now that we have pretty good support for CCITT and are growing some
support for JBIG2, we now draw both the scanned background image
as well as the foreground text. They're not always perfectly aligned.
This change makes it so that we don't render text that's marked as
hidden. (We still do most of the coordinate math, which will probably
come in handy at some point when we implement text selection.)
This makes these scanned documents appear as they're supposed to
appear (at least in documents where we manage to decode the background
bitmap).
This also adds a debug option to force rendering of hidden text.
PDFViewer has this, and it's useful for PDFs that have the same
text both as a scanned bitmap in the background as well as using
vector text in the foreground.
xib changes: Added a new menu entry connected to `toggleShowImages:`,
and also toggled the initial state of two menu entries. (The latter
part has no effect when the program runs since we dynamically update
this state, but it makes the menu entries show their initial state
in Xcode's menu editor.)
When the outline has focus, arrow keys navigate the outline instead
of changing the current page.
Add opt-up and opt-down as a way to move by one page even when the
outline has focus. (This matches Preview.app.)
xib change: Added two menu Previous Page with key equivalent opt-up
and Next Page with key equivalent opt-down to Go menu and bound them to
goToPreviousPage: and goToNextPage: on First Responder.
When the outline has focus, the responder chain is outline ->
window, so also add the actions on the window controller, and
let that forward to the PDF view.
Clicking an item in the outline now opens that page.
This requires giving the outline view a delegate, which for some
reason also has th effect of indenting expandable items ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The vertical alignment of text still looks off, though.
- MacPDFWindowController is now the xib file's owner
- _pdfView moves over
- MacPDFWindowController is now the MacPDFViewDelegate and responsible
for updating the window's title
- Due to MacPDFWindowController now being the xib file's owner,
windowControllerDidLoadNib: is no longer called automatically,
so call a custom windowIsReady method manually instead
No behavior change.
I'd like to add a sidebar, and NSSplitViewItem apparently isn't
accessibly in .xib files without contortions. So I want to move
to creating the window in code, and this is a step towards that.
No behavior change.
