feat(frontend): Upgrade embedPDF to v2.6.0 and migrate to pdf-lib fork, fix attachment/bookmark panel ( #5723 )
...
# Description of Changes
Upgrades embedPDF from v2.5.0 to v2.6.0 and migrates from unmaintained
pdf-lib to @cantoo/pdf-lib fork. Adds defensive error handling for
malformed PDFs and improves bridge lifecycle management.
### Changes
**Dependencies**
- Upgrade all @embedpdf/* packages from ^2.5.0 to ^2.6.0
- Replace pdf-lib with @cantoo/pdf-lib (maintained fork with better
TypeScript support)
**PDF Viewer Infrastructure (attachment/bookmark fix)**
- Add useDocumentReady hook to track document lifecycle across bridges
- Implement defensive bridge cleanup to prevent stale registrations
- Fix race condition in document ready state detection by subscribing to
events before checking state
**Link Extraction (updated to cantoo/pdf-lib)**
- Add graceful error handling for PDFs with invalid catalog structures
- Extract enhanced link metadata (tooltips, colors, border styles,
highlight modes)
- Return empty results instead of throwing on malformed PDFs
- Add validation for link creation (destination page bounds, rect
dimensions, color values)
**Signature Flattening (updated to cantoo/pdf-lib)**
- Improve SVG embedding with three-tier fallback strategy (native
vector, rasterized PNG, placeholder)
- Add proper Unicode handling for PDF form tooltips via
PDFString.decodeText()
- Extract SVG utilities into cleaner strategy pattern
**Form Field Processing (updated to cantoo/pdf-lib)**
- Add support for display labels vs export values in dropdown/list
fields per PDF spec 12.7.4.4
- Implement caching for expensive field property lookups
- Add proper handling of malformed /Opt arrays

feat(viewer): Add interactive link layer with (basic) internal/external navigation support ( #5077 )
...
# Description of Changes
Added a new `LinkLayer` component to the PDF viewer that renders
clickable overlays for PDF link annotations, enabling both internal page
navigation and external URL links.
- Created `LinkLayer.tsx` component that extracts link annotations using
the EmbedPDF annotation API with fallback to direct PDF document access
- Implemented scale-aware positioning to maintain accurate link hotspots
at different zoom levels
- Added support for internal navigation (GoTo actions) using smooth
scrolling and external links (URI actions) opening in new tabs
- Integrated accessibility features with proper ARIA labels and keyboard
navigation
- Modified `LocalEmbedPDF.tsx` to always register the annotation plugin
(even when editing is disabled) to enable reading existing link
annotations
- Updated `ReactRoutingController.java` and test formatting for code
style consistency
**Key features:**
- Multi-source annotation detection (annotation API → document API →
page API fallback)
- Navigation lock to prevent race conditions
- React performance optimizations (useMemo, useCallback)
- TypeScript type safety for PDF actions and destinations
This does not address support for Attachment links. Sadly, that does not
seem to be possible with EmbedPDF
