[poppler] smaller HTML images

[Josh Richardson]

We will position the images relative to the white background div.  They
will be positioned at coordinates corresponding to the regions' respective
original positions in the large single image.  They will be positioned at
a z index between the background div and the overlying text.

Let me know if that's enough info.

Thanks, --josh
