Michael Klink commented on PDFBOX-4068: --------------------------------------- {quote}For what do you need the getOutputStream() method?{quote} I merely wanted to know how to add custom content to the content streams. I am ok with either of {{getOutputStream()}} and {{appendRawCommands()}} but it looked like both were on their way out of PDFBox and I'd have to go the introspection and reflection way... > Create ContentStream for XObject forms and tiling patterns > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PDFBOX-4068 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4068 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Task > Components: PDModel > Reporter: Tilman Hausherr > Priority: Major > > We have a {{PDAppearanceContentStream}} for appearances but nothing for > XObject forms and tiling patterns. > What we need should extend {{PDAbstractContentStream}} and should have a > constructor like > {code:java} > public PDFormContentStream(PDFormXObject form) throws IOException > {code} > Alternatively, why not replace {{PDAppearanceContentStream}} ? Its parameter > {{PDAppearanceStream}} is extended from {{PDFormXObject}} so we could just > use the base class. > We need this both for 2.0 and 3.* - we have users who have a really hard time > fiddling with low level operators instead of using the methods. > In 2.0 we could replace the parameter of {{PDPageContentStream}} that is > currently {{PDAppearanceStream}}. This would be a non breaking change. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@pdfbox.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@pdfbox.apache.org
