Many thanks, Curt. I'll have to update my mupdf:

$ mupdf -C FFEFD5 ~/Personal/domestic/shed/design/plans.pdf
mupdf: unknown option -C
usage: mupdf [options] file.pdf [page]
        -b -    set anti-aliasing quality in bits (0=off, 8=best)
        -p -    password
        -r -    resolution
        -A      disable accelerated functions

And that seems to need an update of my ancient debian version, as an
"apt-get install mupdf" offers nothing newer. Procrastination does seem
to catch up on one eventually.
