Jochen, fire up PDFBox's PDFDebugger [1] and load a few PDFs and browse through the object tree. Look around. That'll give you a feeling of what's in a PDF. Then download the PDF specification. It's not written in Hieroglyphs or Klingon. ;-)
In fact, it's an amazingly clear and readable specification.
Maybe Jochen has been working with Java Server Faces (JSF2) or something recently, and is thus justifiably afraid to go /anywhere near/ the spec. If you've experienced a spec like that, wanting to avoid all of them is understandable.
