That's not how PDF works, Scott. There is only a single %PDF in the file, starting at byte 0. There may be multiple %%EOFs, but they represent "update sections" and have nothing to do with any "original formats".
And a content stream represents the page content, which is just one of the MANY objects found in the "body" of the PDF.
