Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-5451:
--------------------------------------------
[~msahyoun] My first idea was to make COSString immutable but due to the
described complexity of the needed refactoring I'd like to postpone it to the
next major release.
I'm going to add the clones for the getter/setter.

> 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
