-------------------------------------

             Summary: /Version /1.4 in newly generated PDFBox PDF
                 Key: PDFBOX-5265
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5265
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0 PDFBox
            Reporter: Michael Klink
         Attachments: HelloWorld.pdf

Strictly speaking not even a bug, merely a nuisance, but it might indicate an 
underlying issue in version handling.

When generating a HelloWorld PDF as in [this stack overflow 
question|https://stackoverflow.com/q/68904812/1729265], the resulting PDF 
starts like this:

{noformat}
%PDF-1.6
%öäüß
1 0 obj
<<
/Type /Catalog
/Version /1.4
/Pages 2 0 R
>> 
{noformat}

This *Version* value *1.4* makes no sense in a freshly created PDF with a 
{{%PDF-1.6}} header and will be ignored by a standard conform PDF processor.

So it should not be there to start with.

Its presence might indicate, though, that internally PDFBox has a 
non-appropriate idea which PDF version it is wanting to communicate to a 
processor. If so, that should also be cleared up.
