No, you shouldn't need to decompress it. Something like the following should
get you the data:
[…snip…]
imageDataPtr = CGPDFStreamCopyData(dataStream, &format);
dataProvider = CGDataProviderCreateWithCFData(imageDataPtr);
CFRelease(imageDataPtr);
[…snip…]
Message me privately if you want some more help with this Graham.
