        Create a new PDF document.

        Documents with created with this method are writable and can be modified.
        Parameters:
        stream -

        The stream where the PDF document is stored.

        Both, read and write access is required.

        conformance -

        The required conformance level of the PDF document. Adding pages or content from incompatible documents or using incompatible features will lead to a conformance error.

        When using null, the conformance is determined automatically, based on the conformance of the input documents and the requirements of the used features.

        Note that for PDF/A document it is highly recommended to set an output intent using setOutputIntent(com.pdf_tools.fourheights.pdftoolbox.pdf.content.IccBasedColorSpace).

        Returns:
        the newly created document instance
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - Error writing to the stream.
        ConformanceException - If the conformance level is lower than 1.7 and Unicode passwords are specified. In this context "a Unicode password" is essentially one containing characters that are not in the Windows ANSI encoding (Windows Code Page 1252).
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if stream is null

        Create a new PDF document and an associated FDF.

        Documents with created with this method are writable and can be modified. When creating a document with this method, all annotations.MarkupAnnotations - created or copied - are stored as an FDF file to the fdfStream. In the output PDF (pdfStream), only annotations that are not annotations.MarkupAnnotations are stored.
        Parameters:
        pdfStream -

        The stream where the PDF document is stored.

        Both, read and write access is required. The resulting PDF document contains no annotations.MarkupAnnotations.

        fdfStream -

        The stream where the document's annotations.MarkupAnnotations are stored in the FDF format.

        Both, read and write access is required.

        conformance -

        The required conformance level of the PDF document. Adding pages or content from incompatible documents or using incompatible features will lead to a conformance error.

        When using null, the conformance is determined automatically, based on the conformance of the input documents and the requirements of the used features.

        Note that for PDF/A document it is highly recommended to set an output intent using setOutputIntent(com.pdf_tools.fourheights.pdftoolbox.pdf.content.IccBasedColorSpace).
