Michael Klink updated PDFBOX-5265:
----------------------------------
Description:
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.
