Description

PDPageContentStream.setLineWidth(float) incorrectly throws an exception that setLineWidth is not allowed within a text block.  setLineWidth uses PDF operator "w", which according to the PDF specification, it is allowed and is used to set the stroke line width for text outlines when using either STROKE or FILL_STROKE rendering modes.  This is shown on page 392 of the specification at https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference_archive/pdf_reference_1-7.pdf in Example 5.4.
