In don't understand Cold Fusion code, but it seems clear that you're
cutting too many corners in your snippet.
You say you're able to get the text from the Text annotation. Well, now
you need to get the normal appearance stream from the Stamp annotations.
In the page dictionary, you need to get the /Annots. This is an array
with 7 annotations: 1 Text, 3 Popup and 3 Stamp annotations (If I
remember correctly). You need to get the /AP from the /Stamp
annotations. In the /AP, you have the normal appearance /N. This /N
refers to a Stream. That's the stream you need.
