Argh, I thought somebody might have made the effort to retrofit it... you are
right. Maybe I should give xpdf's pdfinfo/pdffonts a go and see whether they do
the job.

It is probably not practical/legal for me to upload it. According to the xml
header it is made by 'FreePic2Pdf - 1.26'. It is a scan of a book - the file is
big because it consists of a lot of scanned images. 

I suppose you can probably make one by joining many small ones with pdftk or
ghostscript (assuming that they don't have 32-bit limits to file-writing -
AFAIK ghostscript can/do read/write files over 2GB, but please feel free to
correct me and file a bug) or just pdflatex. A 24-bit color scan at 600-dpi at
very poor compression should be 120MB so just repeating that 20 times would
do...

I could try making one (or supply a recipe of making such) if you haven't got
anything handy...
