Is there an easy way to manually decode a FlateDecode Filter to extract text in a PDF? C#

I posted a question related to this a while back but got no responses. Since then, I've discovered that the PDF is encoded using FlateDecode, and I was wondering if there is a way to manually decode the PDF in C# (Windows Phone 8)? I'm getting output like the following:

%PDF-1.5
%????
1 0 obj
<<
/Type /Catalog
/Pages 2 0 R
>>
endobj
5 0 obj
<<
/Filter /FlateDecode
/Length 9
>>
stream x^+

The PDF has been created using the SyncFusion PDF controls for Windows Phone 8. Unfortunately, they do not currently have a text extraction feature, and I couldn't find that feature in other WP PDF controls either.

Basically, all I want is to download the PDF from OneDrive and read the PDF contents. Curious if this is easily doable?
