I didn’t get it. Are you implying that coding PDF is an onerous task?

Check out the specs file for PDF and you will understand.

I will be extremely surprised if anyone (besides Adobe) has implemented 100% of it.

I’d be surprised if Adobe has implemented 100% of it. With a format this complex, there’s bound to be discrepancies between the spec and the code they have.
