Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-4853:
-----------------------------------------

There is no "users-info" mailing list.

No, 3.0 is not scheduled for release. You can use it, most is identical to 2.0, 
but the API can change. The best would be you take a snapshot, and have enough 
tests of your code (I suggest rendering comparison) to make sure all still 
works if you ever update to a new snapshot.

> Hi,
>  
> I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this. I tried the FAQ mailing 
> list 2 weeks ago and didn't get any response so I'll try here.
>  
> I'm creating a PDF with transparency groups so I need to use 
> PDFormContentStream, but also PDPageContentStream when not drawing to a 
> transparency group. Transparency groups can be arbitrarily nested so I keep a 
> stack of the current content stream to know which one to write to.
>  
> However, what prevents me to keep the stack is that PDPageContentStream and 
> PDFormContentStream have no common interface despite sharing nearly all the 
> same methods. Is there any reason for this? I see there's already 
> PDAbstractContentStream that's being implemented by PDFormContentStream, 
> PDAppearanceContentStream PDPatternContentStream, but not by 
> PDPageContentStream... Why?
> Currently this forces me to do [something like 
> that|https://pastebin.com/p2FJw6GN] (Kotlin code) to artificially create an 
> interface for both. It's pretty ugly.
