Writing multiline text in pdf. Auto splitting

I want write long text in pdf. Does exist any way to split it to lines automaticly using only pdf specification?

6 0 obj
    << /Length 999 >>
    stream
        BT
            /F1 24 Tf 
            100 520 Td 
            (loooooong looooo...ooong text) Tj 
        ET
    endstream
endobj

As result text goes out of right border of page. I can split text by ', but it means I will have to calculate length of every word and split text, when sum of lengths reach some number.

6 0 obj
    << /Length 999 >>
    stream
        BT
            /F1 24 Tf 
            30 TL
            100 520 Td 
            (loooooong looooo...ooong text) Tj
            (loooooong looooo...ooong text) '
            (loooooong looooo...ooong text) '
        ET
    endstream
endobj

I want something like: 

6 0 obj
    << /Length 999 >>
    stream
        BT
            /F1 24 Tf 
            100 520 Td
            YYY XX
            (loooooong looooo...ooong text) Tj 
        ET
    endstream
endobj

where YYY is length of line and XX some operator.

No.

Short answer, but that's because it's not possible. PDF allows you to very accurately specify where each character needs to go, but it can't automatically do line-splitting for you. That's always your responsibility.
