|---|---|---|
 | Create | Creates new Stream object |
| Create(IntPtr) | Creates new instance of PdfTypeStream class |
| Init | Initialize the stream with a sequence of bytes. |
| InitEmpty | Initialize the stream with an empty sequence of bytes. |
| Read | Reads a specified number of bytes from the current stream from specified position. |

Remarks
A stream object, like a string object, is a sequence of bytes.
However, a PDF application can read a stream incrementally, while a string must be read in its entirety.
Furthermore, a stream can be of unlimited length, whereas a string is subject to an implementation limit.
For this reason, objects with potentially large amounts of data, such as images and page descriptions,
are represented as streams. All streams must be indirect objects and the stream dictionary must be a direct object.
