So you want to modify the text of a PDF by hand
Great post. I've spend a lot of time reading through the PDF specification over the last ~5 years while building DocSpring [1], and I still feel like I've barely scratched the surface. qpdf is a great tool. One of my other favorites is RUPS [2], which really lets you dig into the structure of a PDF.

Any decent free online tool which can give me a breakdown of pdf contents including relative sizes of assets such as images, fonts, etc?
It's not an online tool, but it's free nonetheless: https://github.com/itext/i7j-rups

Show HN: I am building a new Python library to read/write PDF files
Merely for your consideration, if those were actual issues on that repo, (a) it would allow adding labels to them (as in https://github.com/pdf-association/pdf-issues/issues?q=is%3A... ) (b) folks could comment, acting as a low-rent stackoverflow, and (c) it would allow anyone to contribute new ones versus the "PR against README.md" situation right now
That also more closely matches the mental model of those items: bugs against the specification, whether the official PDF Association agrees that they are or not
