Method Summary

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`void`	`addCompression()` Deprecated. This method is inefficient. To copying an existing InputStream, use `PDStream(PDDocument, InputStream, COSName)` instead, with COSName.FLATE_DECODE as the final argument. Otherwise, to write new compressed data, use `createOutputStream(COSName)`, with COSName.FLATE_DECODE as the argument.
`COSInputStream`	`createInputStream()` This will get a stream that can be read from.
`InputStream`	`createInputStream(List<String> stopFilters)` This will get a stream with some filters applied but not others.
`OutputStream`	`createOutputStream()` This will get a stream that can be written to.
`OutputStream`	`createOutputStream(COSName filter)` This will get a stream that can be written to, with the given filter.
`COSStream`	`getCOSObject()` Get the cos stream associated with this object.
`int`	`getDecodedStreamLength()` Get the decoded stream length.
`List<Object>`	`getDecodeParms()` Get the list of decode parameters.
`PDFileSpecification`	`getFile()` This will get the file specification for this stream.
`List<Object>`	`getFileDecodeParams()` Get the list of decode parameters.
`List<String>`	`getFileFilters()` This will get the list of filters that are associated with this stream.
`List<COSName>`	`getFilters()` This will get the list of filters that are associated with this stream.
`int`	`getLength()` This will get the length of the filtered/compressed stream.
`PDMetadata`	`getMetadata()` Get the metadata that is part of the document catalog.
`COSStream`	`getStream()` Deprecated. use `getCOSObject()`
`void`	`setDecodedStreamLength(int decodedStreamLength)` Set the decoded stream length.

  - addCompression
```
@Deprecated
public void addCompression()
```
    Deprecated. This method is inefficient. To copying an existing InputStream, use PDStream(PDDocument, InputStream, COSName) instead, with COSName.FLATE_DECODE as the final argument.
