Most PDF files found on the Web have compressed and unreadable data streams. Is it possible to uncompress the internal content of a PDF file using Acrobat or Acrobat Distiller, allowing us to read the source code by a text editor?
P.S. This question is inspired by this answer which explains how it can be done with GhostScript.
This is easy with qpdf and pdftk.
With Adobe Acrobat you can get at the internal structure after profiling a PDF (preflight with some profile (e.g. detect PDF syntax errors), then Options->Internal PDF structure) - but there's no way to get something editable with a text editor.
