A command-line tool which extracts and decodes every single FlateDecode stream from within a PDF and saves it to a file. Useful for when the usual tools aren't able to extract what you want.
This tool attempts to figure out what kind of data was in the FlateDecode stream by matching file signatures. If it's able to determine file type, the data will be saved with the appropriate file extension.
The relational database of file signatures to file extensions is manually programmed into this application. One day, I may restructure that to be a configuration file.
(make sure you have these built for and installed on your toolchain)
- zlib
- regex

This appliction is set up to be built using autotools. You may use
autoreconf --install to produce ./configure. It's a good idea to use
./configure in a build/ subdirectory or outside of the build tree.
Feel free to propose changes to the functionality or documentation of this application.
