From 88f5ae504f610058c7a8354881234b66c7bf8edc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brandon Philips Date: Sat, 25 Jul 2026 10:01:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Split toPdf() into createPdfContext/addPdfPage for worker-parallel rendering MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implements plans/rtr-searchable-pdf-workers.md: toPdf() becomes a thin wrapper around createPdfContext (font setup) + addPdfPage (per-page image embed + invisible RTR text layer), so applications can render pages in parallel across Workers (via extractPageRenderData + toImage + encodePng, all worker-safe) while assembly stays on the main thread (pdf-lib objects aren't structured-clone-safe). addPdfPage accepts either an image-js Image or pre-encoded PNG bytes so a Worker's output can be handed straight in. Profiling (tests/pdf.bench.ts, findings recorded in the plan doc) found encodePng, not RLE decode, dominates the worker-eligible side, and that pdfDoc.save() alone is ~34% of total time and inherently unparallelizable (one whole-document serialization) — so this implements render-only parallelism (Option A) and skips per-page PDF merging. Also fixes relative imports in src/ to include explicit .js extensions, which tsc's "bundler" resolution allows but was previously omitting, leaving the built lib/ output unloadable by Node's own ESM resolver (needed for tests/pdf-worker-roundtrip.test.ts's worker_threads fixture, which loads lib/ directly since worker_threads can't run .ts). --- README.md | 30 ++++ package.json | 1 + plans/rtr-searchable-pdf-workers.md | 13 +- src/conversion.ts | 63 ++++++++- src/index.ts | 11 +- src/parsing.ts | 2 +- src/pdf.ts | 206 +++++++++++++++++----------- tests/fixtures/render-worker.mjs | 12 ++ tests/pdf-worker-roundtrip.test.ts | 65 +++++++++ tests/pdf.bench.ts | 38 +++++ tests/pdf.test.ts | 50 ++++++- 11 files changed, 401 insertions(+), 90 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/fixtures/render-worker.mjs create mode 100644 tests/pdf-worker-roundtrip.test.ts create mode 100644 tests/pdf.bench.ts diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 42d8c4f..507745e 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -23,6 +23,36 @@ The default font (Helvetica) only supports Latin text.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit pdf.bench.ts only measured whether render vs. assemble time split favored parallelizing render (Option A) — it never actually spawned Workers. tests/pdf-parallel.bench.ts closes that gap: a persistent worker_threads pool (render-worker-pool.mjs) renders pages concurrently via extractPageRenderData + toImage + encodePng, then addPdfPage assembles on the main thread, compared directly against toPdf()'s single-thread path. On 1to10.note with a 4-worker pool: 1.80x faster wall-clock (2242ms mean serial vs. 1247ms mean parallel) — confirms the split actually pays off, not just that it's theoretically parallelizable. --- package.json | 1 + tests/fixtures/render-worker-pool.mjs | 14 +++++ tests/pdf-parallel.bench.ts | 88 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 103 insertions(+) create mode 100644 tests/fixtures/render-worker-pool.mjs create mode 100644 tests/pdf-parallel.bench.ts diff --git a/package.json b/package.json index 79dadef..cf8462a 100644 --- a/package.json +++ b/package.json @@ -15,6 +15,7 @@ "pretest": "npm run build", "test": "vitest run", "test-watch": "vitest", + "prebench": "npm run build", "bench": "vitest bench", "test-mirror": "vitest --watch -t mirror", "coverage": "vitest run --coverage", diff --git a/tests/fixtures/render-worker-pool.mjs b/tests/fixtures/render-worker-pool.mjs new file mode 100644 index 0000000..20062f8 --- /dev/null +++ b/tests/fixtures/render-worker-pool.mjs @@ -0,0 +1,14 @@ +// Persistent worker_threads entry point for tests/pdf-parallel.bench.ts. +// Unlike render-worker.mjs (one task per Worker instantiation, used by the +// worker_threads round-trip test), this stays alive and answers repeated +// render requests over postMessage, so a benchmark can amortize Worker +// startup across many pages instead of paying it per page. +import { parentPort } from 'node:worker_threads'; +import { encodePng } from 'image-js'; +import { toImage } from '../../lib/conversion.js'; + +parentPort.on('message', async (pageRenderData) => { + const [image] = await toImage(pageRenderData, [1]); + const pngBytes = encodePng(image); + parentPort.postMessage(pngBytes, [pngBytes.buffer]); +}); diff --git a/tests/pdf-parallel.bench.ts b/tests/pdf-parallel.bench.ts new file mode 100644 index 0000000..fc94d1e --- /dev/null +++ b/tests/pdf-parallel.bench.ts @@ -0,0 +1,88 @@ +import * as fs from "fs-extra" +import os from "node:os" +import { Worker } from "node:worker_threads" +import { bench, describe, afterAll } from 'vitest' +import { encodePng } from "image-js" +import { toImage, extractPageRenderData } from "../src/conversion" +import { createPdfContext, addPdfPage } from "../src/pdf" +import { SupernoteX } from "../src/parsing" + +function readFileToUint8Array(filePath: string): Uint8Array { + const data = fs.readFileSync(`tests/input/${filePath}`); + return new Uint8Array(data.buffer, data.byteOffset, data.byteLength); +} + +/** A minimal persistent worker pool, built only for this benchmark — per + * plans/rtr-searchable-pdf-workers.md, orchestration is application-specific + * and out of this library's scope (see the README's own example).
