The video will show you (not just tell you) how PDFs work. At the same time, Atle shows off an extremely cool custom parser UI written in Elm. When he clicks on an arbitrary byte in the stream, the parser panel shows the state of the parser + data structure when it arrives at that byte, and the PDF panel displays all of the PDF that up to that byte. It also shows some bits of PDF state like pen position, active font, and ‘we only use some characters’ character compression maps.
I don’t think the program is public, but the video is learnsome and inspiring.
