Why would you want to do that?
You could have a look at BaseParser.java and search for
parseCOSDictionary(). However this assumes you're in a PDF file, you
would have to initialize lots of things.
For example, if I have:
<</Type/Page/Parent 2 0 R/Resources<</Font<</F1 6 0 R/F2 9 0 R/F3 11 0 R>>/ExtGState<</GS8 8 0
R>>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageB/ImageC/ImageI] >>/MediaBox[ 0 0 612 1008] /Contents 5 0
R/Group<</Type/Group/S/Transparency/CS/DeviceRGB>>/Tabs/S/StructParents 0>>
This structure is not complete, i.e. things like "6 0 R" are references
to other objects.

Is there a way to take this string and load it into a COSDictionary object and
then parse key/value pairs?
I've looked at the COSDictionary documentation and there doesn't seem to be any
(obvious) way to do this.
If PDFBox is not able to do this, does anyone know of any open source parsers
out there that would accomplish this? Thanks in advance.
