Data extraction from /Filter /FlateDecode PDF stream in PHP

Question

I can not decrypt the data from the stream like:

    56 0 obj 
    << /Length 1242 /Filter /FlateDecode >>
    stream
    x]êΩnƒ Ñ{ûbÀKq¬æ\\âê¢..         


        

Answer 1

i just used

import de.intarsys.pdf.filter.FlateFilter;

from jpod / source forge and it works well

FlateFilter filter = new FlateFilter(null);
byte[] decoded = filter.decode(bytes, start, end - start);

the bytes are straight from the pdf file
