Yes, it's possible.

The PDF 2.0 specs are available here: https://pdfa.org/resource/iso-32000-2/

I presume that the existing solutions, such as GhostScript, don't meet your needs?

We can't write PDF from scratch with GhostScript. I just want to develop a simple PDF writer, to generate document from a GUI.
