The program would have to be able to use the cores in parallel. I don't know if the PDF rendering code is written that way. I would guess not as I think the PDF language requires a state machine to process (and is thus hard and inefficient to implement multithreaded), but I could be wrong.
Also, more computing power means more battery power required. The engineers are always trying to find that sweet spot between system power and battery life that will please most people.
