Is there a tool to analyze a PDF in terms of fonts, objects, fields and their respective sizes? It would be helpful if it ran on Windows.
I am trying to optimize the size of the PDFs we are generating via abcPDF.

PDF Inspector is an app to inspect the structure of a PDF file. PDF files are made up of a series of indexed entries that describe the file, often in the form of dictionaries. Drag and drop a PDF file from your desktop to the app to inspect a new file. The app opens with a sample PDF.
Most PDF editing/creation software offer an option called “Fast Web View” or “Optimize” that allows PDF files to display the first few pages of the PDF file when the document is opened, instead of waiting for the full file to be available. Optimized files are also generally smaller in size than non-optimized files.
PDF compression can maintain the quality of your contents if you select the appropriate settings. Reducing the quality of a document, especially its images, can save quite a lot of space on disk, but at the expense of readability and usefulness.
the "Info tool" of Multivalent can be the answer to your question:
Multivalent is a java app, cross platform
download links (latest free version with tools - build hosted on sourceforge has not anymore pdf tools, only the pdf viewer, so, don't download from sourceforge)
use:
java -cp /pathto/Multivalent.jar tool.pdf.Info -all file.pdf
output will look like this:
