/**
 * A <CODE>PdfString</CODE>-class is the PDF-equivalent of a
 * JAVA-<CODE>String</CODE>-object.
 * <P>
 * A string is a sequence of characters delimited by parenthesis.
 * If a string is too long to be conveniently placed on a single line, it may
 * be split across multiple lines by using the backslash character (\) at the
 * end of a line to indicate that the string continues on the following line.
 * Within a string, the backslash character is used as an escape to specify
 * unbalanced parenthesis, non-printing ASCII characters, and the backslash
 * character itself. Use of the \<I>ddd</I> escape sequence is the preferred
 * way to represent characters outside the printable ASCII character set.<BR>
 * This object is described in the 'Portable Document Format Reference Manual
 * version 1.7' section 3.2.3 (page 53-56).
