If the number of pages is huge, the PDF might be intentionally corrupted to
provoke a bug in a particular PDF viewer, and other data structures could be
subtly corrupted as well. Any scan would have to proceed very cautiously.
If there is a minimum number of objects required for a page, and if the total
number of objects is easy to find, could poppler immediately reject files with
(total num objects) / (min objects per page) < page count?
