Would like to get your opinion on this. Currently to get the metadata out of
a pdf file, I loop through the guts of the file. I know it's not the
greatest idea to do this, but I'm trying to avoid extra modules, etc.

2. Is it safe to assume pdf files should always be encoded as latin-1 (when
trying to read it this way)? Is there a chance

Thank you Rusi and Christian!
So it sounds like I should read the pdf data in as binary:
import os
pdfPath = '~/Desktop/test.pdf'
colorlistData = ''
with open(os.path.expanduser(pdfPath), 'rb') as f:
for i in f:
if 'XYZ:colorList' in i:
I guess the string constant 'XYZ:colorlist' needs to be a byte-string -- use b
prefix?
Dunno for sure. Black hole for me -- unicode!

Something I don't think was mentioned was that reading a text file in
Python 3, and specifying latin-1, will work simply because every
possible 8-bit byte is a character in Latin-1 That doesn't mean that
