Remarks

This class enables generating a PDF document from native Android content. You create a new document and then for every page you want to add you start a page, write content to the page, and finish the page. After you are done with all pages, you write the document to an output stream and close the document. After a document is closed you should not use it anymore. Note that pages are created one by one, i.e. you can have only a single page to which you are writing at any given time. This class is not thread safe.

A typical use of the APIs looks like this:

// create a new document
            PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();

            // create a page description
            PageInfo pageInfo = new PageInfo.Builder(100, 100, 1).create();

            // start a page
            Page page = document.startPage(pageInfo);

            // draw something on the page
            View content = getContentView();
            content.draw(page.getCanvas());

            // finish the page
            document.finishPage(page);
            . . .
            // add more pages
            . . .
            // write the document content
            document.writeTo(getOutputStream());

            // close the document
            document.close();
