I have not clew what a hint stream is? How the binary data structure on
the hint stream look like,
And how its organised with in the Object.

The PDF Reference has this information. If there is specific
terminology you don't understand, please let us know.

Acrobat can readily make any samples you need, and there are millions
of linearized PDFs on the web.

Can we create a PDF sample from Acrobat and almost all the Linearized
PDFs in the Web and encrypted, im able to inflate it but they are still
encryted and difficult for me to read.

If they are encrypted, then you need to stop using Acrobat security.
They will only be encrypted in a secured file. Otherwise they will be
directly as the PDF Reference says.

Can you please explain me in detail how this hint table is organised
within the stream?

You're not going to get anywhere by asking us to rewrite the PDF
Reference for you. This is what is called an "open question" and
forums are not a good way to get them answered. The PDF Reference
writes 36 pages on the subject of linearization, do you really expect
someone to write the whole thing out again, but simpler, for you?

So here is a suggestion. Make the smallest, simplest linearized PDF
you can. Get a listing of the decompressed stream in hex and try to
interpret what you see. If you get stuck, post the contents of the
stream (in its entirety) and post the interpretation you have of it.
Then we can help you move forwards.
