Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help me understand the dictionary items of a FlateDecode stream statement in a PDF:

<</Filter/FlateDecode/First 289/Length 2171/I 214/S 54/V 167/N 37/Type/ObjStm>>stream

"Length" is obvious.  But I cannot see how "First", "N", "I", "V" and "Type" relate to the subsequent hex stream.  I also cannot find any PDF or zlib source online which documents these parameters.  Any assistance would be appreciated!
