It would be useful to have an API for downscaling that does not require
the entire source image to be loaded into memory. I've recently updated
the downscaling box filter code in the cairo backend of poppler to read
the source image one line at a time as it is uncompressed from the pdf
file. This was to fix a bug where rendering a PDF containing a
21,590 x 161,385 1 bit/pixel image failed due to the 32,767 x 32,767
image limit.
