    public abstract class PDFXObject

extends AbstractPDFStream

Abstract base class of PDF XObjects. A derivative of the PDF Object, is a PDF Stream that has not only a dictionary but a stream of image data. The dictionary just provides information like the stream length. This outputs the image dictionary and the image data. This is used as a reference for inserting the same image in the document in another place.

Constructor Detail

### PDFXObject

    public PDFXObject()

  Create an XObject with the given number.

### PDFXObject

    protected PDFXObject(PDFDictionary dictionary)

Method Detail

### getName

    public PDFName getName()

  Returns the XObject's name.

  Returns:
    the name of the XObject

### populateStreamDict

    protected void populateStreamDict(java.lang.Object lengthEntry)

  Populates the dictionary with all necessary entries for the stream. Override this method if you need additional entries.

  Overrides:
    `populateStreamDict` in class `AbstractPDFStream`
  Parameters:
    `lengthEntry` - value for the /Length entry

### getSizeHint

    protected int getSizeHint()
                       throws java.io.IOException

  Returns a value that hints at the size of the encoded stream. This is used to optimize buffer allocation so fewer buffer reallocations are necessary.

  Specified by:
    `getSizeHint` in class `AbstractPDFStream`
  Returns:
    an estimated size (0 if no hint can be given)
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - in case of an I/O problem
