+ Tells qpdf to precheck each stream for the ability to decode
+ it. Ordinarily qpdf tries to decode streams that it thinks it
+ can decode based on the filters, and if there ends up being an
+ error when actually trying to do the decode, the stream data
+ is truncated. This flag causes qpdf to actually read the
+ stream fully before deciding whether to filter the stream.
+ This option will slow qpdf down since it will have to read the
+ stream twice, but it allows raw stream data to be preserved in
+ cases where the decoding of the stream would fail for some
+ reason. This may be useful in working with some damaged files.
