Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-1922:
-----------------------------------------
COSDocument.java has this:
{code}
public void setVersion( float versionValue )
{
// update header string
if (versionValue != version)
{
headerString = headerString.replaceFirst(String.valueOf(version),
String.valueOf(versionValue));
}
version = versionValue;
}
{code}
So it does two things, set the version and set the headerString. My first Idea
would be to remove the setting of the headerString, because this is 1. a side
effect and 2. already done elsewhere. But this was inserted in 2011 by [~lehmi]
as part of PDFBOX-879 so I wonder if I will break something by removing this.

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Parsing
> Affects Versions: 1.8.4, 1.8.5, 1.8.6, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Tim Allison
> Assignee: Tilman Hausherr
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.8.6, 2.0.0

> Attachments: testAnnotations.pdf

>
> On older pdf files, the NonSequentialParser returns a different PDFVersion
> than the traditional parser via the call:
> document.getDocument().getVersion().
> I think this is because NonSequentialParser is not reading the header but
> relying on the default 1.4 if no version is found in the trailer.
> Many apologies if this is a duplicate. I feel like I've seen this issue
> elsewhere, but I can't track it down.
