Description

It is possible to add text to a pdf-document using the class PDPageContentStream, but there is no easy way to add a scaling, a rotation or a textmatrix for the added text. Up to now it has be done by adding raw pdf commands to the stream.

It would be easier to add some methods to wrap the raw commands (e.g. see setStrokingColor)
