Is it possible to uncompress PDF? similar to:

# uncompress
qpdf --stream-data=uncompress a.pdf b.pdf
# compress
qpdf b.pdf c.pdf

No not Currently What's the usecase for this?

I had some text I wanted to remove - originally I was looking into cropping it or redacting, but it seems "permanent" crop is actually quite difficult. however if you can uncompress the PDF, in my case at least I was able to just literally edit it like a text document then compress again
