             Summary: Create ContentStream for XObject forms
                 Key: PDFBOX-4068
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4068
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: PDModel
            Reporter: Tilman Hausherr


We have a PDAppearanceContentStream for appearances but nothing for XObject forms.

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 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 PDAppearanceContentStream. This would be a non breaking change.
