    public abstract class PdfObject

extends java.lang.Object

The abstract superclass for all representations of objects in PDF files. Objects may be created using the obj syntax, in which case they have an object and generation number, or they may be parts of other objects, in which case they don't. All subclasses should implement a constructor which has the object and generation numbers as its last two arguments, and one which has the same arguments except for omitting these two.

Field Summary
`protected int` | `_genNumber` PDF generation number.
`protected int` | `_objNumber` PDF object number.

Constructor Summary
`PdfObject()` Superclass constructor for which the object and generation number will be added separately or not at all.
`PdfObject(int objNumber, int genNumber)` Superclass constructor which should be called for all PdfObject instances that include an object and generation number.

Method Summary
`int` | `getGenNumber()` Returns the PDF generation number.
`int` | `getObjNumber()` Returns the PDF object number.
`void` | `setGenNumber(int num)` Sets the PDF generation number.
`void` | `setObjNumber(int num)` Sets the PDF object number.
