 * Block starter:
 * Import a PDF page containing, and process all blocks. The blocks are
 * retrieved via pCOS, and the block filling functions are used to
 * visualize the blocks on the output page. A real-world application would
 * of course fill the blocks with data retrieved from some external data
 * source.
 *
 * required software: PPS 7 or above
 * required data: input PDF
