> Create ContentStream for XObject forms and tiling patterns
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-4068
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4068
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: PDModel
> Reporter: Tilman Hausherr
> Priority: Major
>
> We have a {{PDAppearanceContentStream}} for appearances but nothing for
> XObject forms and tiling patterns.
> What we need should extend {{PDAbstractContentStream}} and should have a
> constructor like
> {code:java}
> public PDFormContentStream(PDFormXObject form) throws IOException
> {code}
> Alternatively, why not replace {{PDAppearanceContentStream}} ? Its parameter
> {{PDAppearanceStream}} is extended from {{PDFormXObject}} so we could just
> use the base class.
> We need this both for 2.0 and 3.* - we have users who have a really hard time
> fiddling with low level operators instead of using the methods.
> In 2.0 we could replace the parameter of {{PDPageContentStream}} that is
> currently {{PDAppearanceStream}}. This would be a non breaking change.
