Since you didn't tell if you need to access one decompressed stream only or if you need all streams decompressed, I'll suggest you a simple commandline tool which does it in one go for the complete PDF: Jay Berkenbilt's qpdf
.
Example commandline:
qpdf --qdf --object-streams=disable in.pdf out.pdf
out.pdf
can then be inspected in a text editor (only embedded ICC profiles, images and fonts could still be binary).
qpdf
will also automatically re-order the objects and display the PDF syntax in a normalized way (and telling you in a comment what the original object ID of the de-compressed object was).
Should you require to re-compress the file again (maybe after you edited it), just run this command:
qpdf out-edited.pdf out-recompressed.pdf
(You may see some warning message, telling that the utility was attempting to repair a damaged file....)
qpdf
is multi-platform and available from Sourceforge.
