    • PDStream

      public PDStream(PDDocument doc, InputStream input) throws IOException
      Constructor. Reads all data from the input stream and embeds it into the document. This method closes the InputStream.
      Parameters:
      doc - The document that will hold the stream.
      input - The stream parameter.
      Throws:
      IOException - If there is an error creating the stream in the document.
    • PDStream

      public PDStream(PDDocument doc, InputStream input, COSName filter) throws IOException

      Parameters:
      doc - The document that will hold the stream.
      input - The stream parameter.
      filter - Filter to apply to the stream.
      Throws:
      IOException - If there is an error creating the stream in the document.
    • PDStream

      public PDStream(PDDocument doc, InputStream input, COSArray filters) throws IOException
      Constructor. Reads all data from the input stream and embeds it into the document with the given filters applied. This method closes the InputStream.
      Parameters:
      doc - The document that will hold the stream.

  • Method Details

    • addCompression

      @Deprecated public void addCompression()
      Deprecated.
      This method is inefficient. To copying an existing InputStream, use PDStream(PDDocument, InputStream, COSName) instead, with COSName.FLATE_DECODE as the final argument. Otherwise, to write new compressed data, use createOutputStream(COSName), with COSName.FLATE_DECODE as the argument.
      If there are not compression filters on the current stream then this will add a compression filter, flate compression for example.
