In cairo-pdf-surface.c, I found more hard coded code for "compressed"
parameter, such as Line 1386, 1496, 1504, 1755, 3012, 3181, 3336. I suggest
replacing these hard coded "TRUE" or "FALSE" by an internal variable. Then we
can add one public API to set this internal variable. The new API may looks
like follows.
cairo_public void 
cairo_surface_set_PDF_compressed (cairo_surface_t *surface, bool compressed);

Since our application needs uncompressed PDF output, it would be appreciated if
the API above can be added to later versions of cairo.

Thanks,
Lance
