The generators always get passed local files, this means they always need to be
complete. If you want to support streaming files, we're going to need to give
them a QIODevice, etc. Not totally trivial. Anyhow i'd say we should close this
bug and if you want to open one to support Linearized PDF files, there's
probably one around somewhere already :D

Also evince is probably just using gvfs which does a local mount of remote
files so in a sense it's much easier for them, kio is cool but doesn't really
help in this case in which we need to seek back and forth in the file
