    Description

      It's very difficult to try to debug PDFs which have object streams because it's not possible to trace through the PDF in a text editor. Using some utilities like pdftk may fix additional problems which you are trying to debug. This task is to add a small program which will just decompress all the object streams into normal objects. This will not fix any problems with conforming PDF, it just makes things easier to debug. It may fix problems with non-conforming PDFs which have duplicate object IDs with the same revision as the first object will be overwritten by subsequent versions.
