There is a wonderful program called "qpdf" that converts a PDF file into an equivalent PDF file optionally performing a number of conversions, such as uncompressing the contents (then it's called a "QDF file", but it's still legal PDF). It has a companion program "fix-qdf" that updates the internal pointers in case the byte-offsets of the objects shift around when you edit the file.
