/**
 * PdfDictionary is the Pdf dictionary object.
 * 
 * A dictionary is an associative table containing pairs of objects.
 * The first element of each pair is called the key and the second
 * element is called the value.
 * Unlike dictionaries in the PostScript language, a key must be a
 * PdfName.
 * A value can be any kind of PdfObject, including a dictionary.
 * A dictionary is generally used to collect and tie together the attributes
 * of a complex object, with each key-value pair specifying the name and value
 * of an attribute.

 * A dictionary is represented by two left angle brackets (<<), followed by a
 * sequence of key-value pairs, followed by two right angle brackets (>>).

 * This object is described in the 'Portable Document Format Reference Manual
 * version 1.7' section 3.2.6 (page 59-60).
 *
