[Solved] How to decode streams of type FlateDecode?

[loaded]

Hi All,
There are streams encoded as FlateDecode in a pdf file I have. Is there a method to solve these flows in the simplest way?
I would be glad if you share your experience and suggestions. Respects.

Use any Pdf library to do, would be fastest solution. With ZLib you should also be able to "unpack" such stream.

Thank you so much KodeZwerg for the answer.
I use ghostscript for my pdf processing. It works great.
But I wanted to do something myself.
Yes Zlib might be the solution, I'll try that.

With the help of your suggestion and the codes in the link, my problem was solved.

But now a problem has arisen.
Pdf files contain both text and stream objects.
What's the easiest way to extract these stream objects from texts?
The python code in the link you posted can do this very simply.
Is this possible in Lazarus?

I do not know about how other languages do work.
I more rely to the technical aspect of a file structure like pdf.
https://resources.infosecinstitute.com/topic/pdf-file-format-basic-structure/
Above just one of millions web pages that describe the structure.
When you have read that, you should know the tricks

What I want to do in my current situation;
It was more of a method of reading a file that contained both binary and text-only, rather than learning the pdf file structure. This is the first time I have encountered such a situation. Normally, the files would be either text or directly binary. Both are mixed here.

Still, thank you very much for your help. It was very important for me to even come this far. Respects.

Your approach might work while doing it the official way works all the time.
Read the end of the file first to get the position to the xref, from there (the xref table) you have easy access to every content of that pdf.
I would not bother by trying a straightforward variant but it is a lot of wasted energy.
