Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-5451:
----------------------------------------
I think cloning is the better option here although using more memory if you'd
like to ensure that the COSString is not manipulated under the hood.
> Avoid copying byte array for COSString

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement

> When creating a COSString the given byte array is cloned. As in most cases
> the array is just an intermediate object we should remove that to reduce the
> memory footprint.
> Furthermore the {{getBytes}} returns the internal byte array so that I don't
> see any reason not to use the given byte array itself instead of cloning it
