I don't care about images - they may remain compressed or get uncompressed. 
I only want to uncompress all streams that may contain "source code" 
(PdfNames, PdfDictionaries and similar things) - or at least all of those 
that are produced by popular applications. Of course, the resulting PDF 
should still be a valid PDF file.

Does my patch just leaves them compressed or does it create invalid PDF 
files? (I tested my code with a bunch of PDFs and all appeared fine in 
Adobe Reader afterwards; but obviously I did not test all PDFs that exist 
so if you tell me that my patch can corrupt PDFs I will believe you.) If 
the latter, I'd like to know how to do it correctly.

TIA,

Michael
