So, summarizing, do I understand correctly that you would like a way to
render a page of a PDF document in a HIGH resolution? If so, I'm not sure
Evince is the right place for such a tool.
Plainly stating that you want to do something that is currently not possible
is not a valid premise to conclude that:

There is is no "need" to do anything before it's clear what the problem is.

No, I don't agree. Agree to what exactly, by the way? You're going way too
fast with your reasoning, skipping various important steps, most notably a
problem analysis. It's still unclear what the supposed use case is.

This sounds like a moot argument ("treatening to leave") to me. You assume
the worst of all possible intentions of the people you are talking to. That
attitude is killing, especially in a OSS setting. So, don't.

I dislike that you refer to me as "people like you", and I strongly urge you
to refrain from addressing me in such an unfriendly and disrespectful way in
future correspondence. I'd welcome your apologies for your very unfriendly
and uncooperative attitude.
Take care,
