Christian Appl updated PDFBOX-5280:
-----------------------------------
Description:
**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:*
!image-2021-09-15-13-54-13-203.png!
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:
!image-2021-09-15-14-01-54-602.png!
*Also be aware:*
This is a quick and dirty solution and does not include other stream types,
that may extend PDAbstractContentStream.
If you were interested - please tell me so I can check that and clean it up.
*This is not fit for direct inclusion and would require some cleanup first!*
