A step-by-step PDF writer.
The entry point into the API is the main PdfWriter. The document is written
into an internal buffer, but otherwise the API is largely non-allocating.
The following example creates a PDF with a single, empty A4 page.
```rust use pdf_writer::{PdfWriter, Rect, Ref};
// Start writing with the PDF version 1.7 header. let mut writer = PdfWriter::new(1, 7);
// The document catalog and a page tree with one A4 page that uses no resources. writer.catalog(Ref::new(1)).pages(Ref::new(2)); writer.pages(Ref::new(2)).kids(vec![Ref::new(3)]); writer.page(Ref::new(3)) .parent(Ref::new(2)) .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("empty.pdf", writer.finish(Ref::new(1)))?; ```
