Dear Glen,
PDFStreamParser is only for parsing PDF content streams (so specific parts of a
PDF) and not the complete PDF. As a starting
point take a look at CustomGraphicsStreamEngine and or CustomPageDrawer in the
examples package.
Also PDFTextStripper will give you some ideas how to process a PDF.
