title: Method to decompress a PDF (non-Adobe) while retaining form fields?
body: <p>I found a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7906799/manipulate-pdf-form-with-fill-able-form-fields-and-keep-them-fillable-by-user">similar question</a> that involves Acrobat, but in this case the PDF was made with a combination of MS Word and CenoPDF v3, with which I'm unfamiliar.  Additionally the PDF is version 1.3.  I'd like to decompress it, to see its low-level workings and make some changes.  It's easy with GhostScript's <strong>-dCompressPages=false</strong> parameter, but that simultaneously strips all the fill-in form functionality.  Is there a method for decompressing the file while leaving everything else intact?  A quick search of the docs for tcpdf and fpdi (cited in the link) didn't reveal a compression option.</p>
