Screenshot of Adobe Acrobat X Professional resource statistics indicator

I'd like to propose a new Poppler commandline utility called 'pdfresources'

It should list a statistic about resources embedded in a PDF, so users can get an idea about how much space is consumed by each category.

In Adobe Acrobat Professional there is a (crappy) way to get some idea about this (see attached screenshot).

It would be great if Poppler could beat Adobe on this feature too (it does so already when it comes to listing the fonts and images contained in a PDF :).

In my opinion the following (maybe incomplete) categories of resources would be interesting and insightful to list:

 - fonts, individually named
 - fonts ................................ (total)
 - images, individual
 - images ............................... (total)
 - ICC profiles, individual
 - ICC profiles ......................... (total)
 - other page contents, per page
 - other page contents .................. (total)
 - annotations, individual
 - annotations .......................... (total)
 - 3D content, individual 
 - 3D content ........................... (total)
 - embedded multimedia, indiv.
 - embedded multimedia .................. (toatl)
 - embedded attachment files, indiv.
 - embedded attachment files ............ (total)
 - document overhead
 - XMP metadata
 - XRef table(s)
 - unused objects (not in XRef table) 

Thank you for considering it.
