### Constructor Detail

#### PDFFormXObject

    public PDFFormXObject(int xnumber,
                          PDFStream contents,
                          PDFReference resources)

create a FormXObject with the given number and name and load the image in the object

Parameters:
  `xnumber` - the pdf object X number
  `contents` - the form's contents
  `resources` - the resource PDF reference

### Method Detail

#### setBBox

    public void setBBox(Rectangle2D bbox)

Sets the bounding box of the Form XObject.

Parameters:
  `bbox` - the bounding box

#### getBBox

    public Rectangle2D getBBox()

Returns the bounding box.

Returns:
  the BBox value

#### setMatrix

    public void setMatrix(AffineTransform at)

Sets the Matrix value

Parameters:
  `at` - the AffineTransform defining the transformation matrix

#### getMatrix

    public AffineTransform getMatrix()

Returns the Matrix value.

Returns:
  the Matrix

#### setData

    public void setData(byte[] data)
                 throws IOException

Used to set the contents of the PDF stream.

Parameters:
  `data` - the contents as a byte array
Throws:
  `IOException` - in case of an I/O problem

#### outputRawStreamData

    protected void outputRawStreamData(OutputStream out)
                                throws IOException

Sends the raw stream data to the target OutputStream.

Specified by:
  `outputRawStreamData` in class `AbstractPDFStream`
Parameters:
  `out` - OutputStream to write to
Throws:
  `IOException` - In case of an I/O problem

#### output

    public int output(OutputStream stream)
               throws IOException

Overload the base object method so we don't have to copy byte arrays around so much Write the PDF represention of this object

Overrides:
  `output` in class `AbstractPDFStream`
Parameters:
  `stream` - the stream to write the PDF to
Returns:
  the number of bytes written
Throws:
  `IOException` - if there is an error writing to the stream

#### populateStreamDict

    protected void populateStreamDict(Object lengthEntry)

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

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