John Hewson closed PDFBOX-45.
-----------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
We should not do this. Incremental PDFs are trouble as they cause difficulty
for many less sophisticated PDF readers and tools, and they can contain
sensitive garbage which can raise privacy/confidentiality concerns.
The only sound case for incremental writing is adding digital signatures, which
is what PDFBox does currently.
