Hello,
Let's say I have this which creates a new Pdf document and adds content to it:
public static void createPdfDocumentAndAddContent() throws Exception {
PDDocument document = null;
PDPageContentStream contentStream = null;
try {
document = new PDDocument();
PDPage page = new PDPage();
document.addPage(page);
contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(document, page);
contentStream.setFont(PDType1Font.COURIER, 12);
contentStream.beginText();
contentStream.showText("Hello World");
contentStream.endText();
contentStream.close();
// ...
document.save("pdfBoxHelloWorld.pdf");
document.close();
} finally {
// Necessary to handle exceptions
IOUtils.closeQuietly(contentStream); // In case an exception occurs, do
I really need this or closing the document is enough ?
IOUtils.closeQuietly(document);
}
}
Do I really need to close the content stream in the finally block or closing
the document is enough ?

The rare examples I see where they handle errors, only the document is closed.
But the content stream being a Closeable for me it also needs to be closed, not
knowing what exactly document.close() does and if it is enough.
Thanks a lot.
