Are parsers for PDF available?

 - decompress if necessary
 - parse and spot-check
 - convert to XML
 - generically parse that?

Note this is all test-last, not TFUI. The best system would plug a
Mock Renderer in for the PDF Renderer, so tests can instantly get the
rendered version in some convenient format...
