      public class PageGroup
      extends AbstractResourceEnvironmentGroupContainer

  A page group is used in the data stream to define a named, logical grouping of sequential pages. Page groups are delimited by begin-end structured fields that carry the name of the page group. Page groups are defined so that the pages that comprise the group can be referenced or processed as a single entity. Page groups are often processed in stand-alone fashion; that is, they are indexed, retrieved, and presented outside the context of the containing document.
