CosDocumentBuilder class

Assembles a brand-new PDF file from scratch - the counterpart of CosIncrementalUpdater for output that does not extend an existing byte stream (extracted page ranges, merged documents, generated files).

Objects are numbered in registration order starting at 1. A container may be registered while still empty and filled in afterwards - nothing is serialized until build - which is how callers close reference cycles (a page referencing its parent tree node, say).
