      • toPDFString

        protected java.lang.String toPDFString()
        This method returns a String representation of the PDF object. The result is normally converted/encoded to a byte array by toPDF(). Only use this method to implement the serialization if the object can be fully represented as text. If the PDF representation of the object contains binary content use toPDF() or output(OutputStream) instead. This applies to any object potentially containing a string object because string object are encrypted and therefore need to be binary.
        Overrides:
        toPDFString in class PDFObject
        Returns:
        String the String representation
