I think you are right. Unpacked pdf file looks like a plain text file but it is still probably a binary file. However, the tool I used to unpack (pdftk) claims that unpacked file can be edited by a simple text editor:

Uncompress PDF page streams for editing the PDF in a text editor (e.g., vim, emacs)
pdftk doc.pdf output doc.unc.pdf uncompress
When I run your script, it shows some binary characters and crashes. I also thought of using awk but as far as I know it works only if a file is plain text.

Could you have a look at the pdf I have attached in my first post?
