A strict validator could be written using the PDF Reference. However, it would reject a huge proportion of PDF files. For programmers making PDF files that would nevertheless be helpful. But a useful validator would have to know about the valid PDFs that are rejected by Acrobat, and the bad features that nevertheless display correctly. I did something similar with PSAlter, for PostScript, but since validation was an afterthought, it only has about 20 items it specifically complains of in its "strict conformance" mode.
