Thomas Chojecki reopened PDFBOX-45:
-----------------------------------
The saveIncremental(...) method was a first try to do this, but is
unfortunately only work for signatures. The recursive writer make it hard to
implement this feature, because he starts always with the catalog and if for
example a new page was added, all elements on the way to this new page need to
be written again.
So we need a extra writer for this task that does not work recursive and
instead use maybe a set or a map for objects that need to be written. Or the
writer should iterate always over all objects and only write new ones.
I would prefer a new writer, because it seams to be cleaner to write objects
from a collection instead of trying to iterate through all objects and finding
new ones and maybe end up in loops.
So it's a bigger task for the version 2.0
