The PDF format seems to be a mixture of text (including main tokens)
and binary.
When Googl'ing "PDF parser" I come across a parser in Python which is
fairly readable:

Typically I'd take it as a basis if I wanted to make an Ada version.
NB: for the LZW and Deflate decoders, there is already an Ada
implementation in Zip-Ada.
No need to translate...
Have fun
