dotCooCoo 5f6c7b8da9 PDF export: a 16-bit PNG is written at 8 bits for PDF 1.3 and 1.4 instead of failing the export
When the Compression settings keep a PNG as it is, the PNG goes to
the PDF writer unchanged, and the writer refuses images of 16 bits a
sample below PDF 1.5. Saving a document with a placed 16-bit PNG as
PDF 1.4, or as a .ai file at 1.4, failed with "PDF writer error:
SixteenBitImage(...)" and wrote nothing. PDF 1.3 and PDF/X-3 failed
the same way for an opaque 16-bit PNG, and PDF/X-1a failed for a
16-bit gray PNG.

In PDF 1.3 and 1.4 files, such a PNG is now decoded and encoded again
at 8 bits a sample, with the same color type and ICC profile, before
the writer reads it. From PDF 1.5 on, it keeps its 16 bits. A 16-bit
PNG whose pixel data can't be decoded is left out with the note "an
image couldn't be decoded and is missing from the picture".
