/*!
A step-by-step PDF writer.

The entry point into the API is the main [`PdfWriter`], which constructs the
document into one big internal buffer. The top-level writer has many methods to
create specialized writers for specific PDF objects. These all follow the same
general pattern: They borrow the main buffer mutably, expose a builder pattern
for writing individual fields in a strongly typed fashion and finish up the
object when dropped.

There are a few more top-level structs with internal buffers, like the builder
for [`Content`] streams, but wherever possible buffers are borrowed from parent
writers to minimize allocations.

# Writers
The writers contained is this crate fall roughly into two categories.

**Core writers** enable you to write arbitrary PDF objects.

- The [`Obj`] writer allows to write most fundamental PDF objects (numbers,
  strings, arrays, dictionaries, ...). It is exposed through
  [`PdfWriter::indirect`] to write top-level indirect objects and through
  [`Array::push`] and [`Dict::insert`] to compose objects.
- Streams are exposed through a separate [`PdfWriter::stream`] method since they
  _must_ be indirect objects.

**Specialized writers** for things like a _[page]_ or an _[image]_ expose the
core writer's capabilities in a strongly typed fashion.

- A [`Page`] writer, for example, is just a thin wrapper around a [`Dict`] and
  it even derefs to a dictionary in case you need to write a field that is not
  yet exposed by the typed API.
- Similarly, the [`ImageXObject`] derefs to a [`Stream`], so that the [`filter()`]
  function can be shared by all kinds of streams. The [`Stream`] in turn derefs
  to a [`Dict`] so that you can add arbitrary fields to the stream dictionary.

When you bind a writer to a variable instead of just writing a chained builder
pattern, you may need to manually drop it before starting a new object using
[`finish()`](Finish::finish) or [`drop()`].

# Minimal example
The following example creates a PDF with a single, empty A4 page.

```
use pdf_writer::{PdfWriter, Rect, Ref};

# fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
// Define some indirect reference ids we'll use.
let catalog_id = Ref::new(1);
let page_tree_id = Ref::new(2);
let page_id = Ref::new(3);

// Write a document catalog and a page tree with one A4 page that uses no resources.
let mut writer = PdfWriter::new();
writer.catalog(catalog_id).pages(page_tree_id);
writer.pages(page_tree_id).kids([page_id]).count(1);
writer.page(page_id)
    .parent(page_tree_id)
    .media_box(Rect::new(0.0, 0.0, 595.0, 842.0))
    .resources();

// Finish with cross-reference table and trailer and write to file.
std::fs::write("target/empty.pdf", writer.finish())?;
# Ok(())
# }
```

For a more comprehensive overview, check out the [hello world example] in the
repository, which creates a document with text and a link in it.

# Note
This crate is rather low-level. It does not allocate or validate indirect reference
ids for you and it does not check you write all required fields for an object. Refer
to the [PDF specification] to make sure you create valid PDFs.

[page]: writers::Page
[image]: writers::ImageXObject
[`filter()`]: Stream::filter
