A stream object is a sequence of bytes of unlimited length.

The stream is represented as a dictionary followed by the stream keyword, the sequence of bytes, and the endstream keyword.

The stream keyword must be followed by a carriage return/line feed pair, or just a line feed. Carriage return alone is not allowed.

The dictionary should specify the number of bytes in the stream indicated by a key of Length.

There should be an end of line marker after the stream and before the endstream keyword. This end of line marker is not part of the stream.
