pdf: Merge loops for single byte text chunk output

Currently, we split text into single byte chunks and multi-byte glyphs,
then iterate through single byte chunks for output and multi-byte glyphs
for output.

Instead, output the single byte chunks as we finish them, then do the
multi-byte glyphs at the end.
