PDF is a binary format. To read any binary format, you need to have a copyCan anyone kindly show me the steps required to read pdf headers in human

However the data itself is usually compressed, using zlib. Whilst it is
possible to write your owen decompressor, this is a major undertaking.
usually the only realistic option is to use a library.
What this means is that whilst you can get an idea of waht a PDF file
contains, you can't easily read the actual data, certainly not with your own
little scratch program.
