general/starter_pvf

 * PDFlib Virtual File system (PVF):

 * Create a PVF file which holds an image or PDF, and import the data from the

 * PVF file

 *

 * This avoids disk access and is especially useful when the same image or PDF

 * is imported multiply. For examples, images which sit in a database don't

 * have to be written and re-read from disk, but can be passed to PDFlib

 * directly in memory. A similar technique can be used for loading other data

 * such as fonts, ICC profiles, etc.

 *

 * Required software: PDFlib/PDFlib+PDI/PPS 9

 * Required data: image file
