      public interface PDFWritable

  This interface is implemented by classes that can be serialized to a PDF file either by serializing the object or by writing a indirect reference to the actual object.

- - ### Method Summary

    All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `void` | `outputInline(OutputStream out, StringBuilder textBuffer)` Writes a "direct object" (inline object) representation to the stream.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### outputInline

          void outputInline(OutputStream out,
                            StringBuilder textBuffer)
                     throws IOException

      Writes a "direct object" (inline object) representation to the stream. A text buffer is given for optimized encoding of text content.

      IMPORTANT: If you need to write out binary output, call `PDFDocument.flushTextBuffer(StringBuilder, OutputStream)` before writing any content to the `OutputStream`!

      Parameters:
        `out` - the OutputStream (for binary content)
        `textBuffer` - the text buffer for text content
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs
