[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-4068) Create ContentStream for XObject
forms and tiling patterns
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4068?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16500384#comment-16500384 ]
Michael Klink commented on PDFBOX-4068:
---------------------------------------
In the context of this issue the content stream classes have been changed to not have a {{getOutputStream()}} method anymore and all the {{appendRawCommands()}} overloads are marked deprecated. How is one supposed to add custom content now?

> 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.
