Deleting an image with Edit a PDF removes its Do operation, but the image stays in the
page's /Resources /XObject, so every full rewrite (Reduce file size, Optimize PDF)
carried its data along: a page left blank still weighed the whole picture.
Clean Up now drops image and form XObjects from a page's own resources when their name
is written in no stream the document still uses. Shared and inherited resources are left
alone, and if any stream can't be read the way a viewer would read it, nothing is removed:
viewers look names up through parent resources, so only a name written nowhere is safe to
drop. doc_optimize reports unused_xobjects.
