**This patch is a byproduct of my other contributions. I wanted to simplify the 
creation of new PDF via PDFBox and I like method chaining.

This is not a major contribution whatsoever and does not really add new 
functionality.
But instead of letting this rot in a shelf or some local mirror, I could just 
suggest it here.

It allows chaining the different methods of PDPageContentStreams / 
PDAbstractContentStreams.

*Without method chaining:*

*With method chaining:*

If this patch is not beneficial or uninteresting simply close this issue.

*Be aware though:*
This is based on bold typecasts. If you wanted to include this, this is 
something I could possibly fix:
