I realize that there are plenty of strange things that
it could potentially do, but I bet in most common circumstances
it is not an issue.  I _DON'T_ want it in a format like what
the PDF was made from (like turning it into LaTeX for example).
I just want the raw data contained in the PDF.
Since you can usually select and copy and paste text
I am guessing that the text is usually in lines.

So, for example, instead of having
Dictionaries (hashes) in angle brackets: << >>
It could just be an XML tag:
<dictionary>
  <value key="pdfname">...</value>
...
</dictionary>

Similarly for the other data structures.
Also, it would be useful to extract the various files.
So, for example, JPEGs could be extracted as plain JPEG files.
I don't know much about the representation, just that there are
the layers of filters.  So, would extracting the file basically
be undoing all but the last filter?
