Makes sense IMHO!

Hello,

I ask you this question before creating a JIRA.

The method PDDocument.save(..) (version 3.0.2) generates a warning if the 
output file already exists :

[...]
public void save(File file, CompressParameters compressParameters) throws 
IOException
     {
         if (file.exists())
         {
             LOG.warn(
                     "You are overwriting the existing file " + file.getName()
                             + ", this will produce a corrupted file if you're also 
reading from it");
         }
[...]

I understand the disclaimer "Don't use the input file as target as this will produce 
a corrupted file", but I'm in a context where an empty ouput file is created just 
before for specific reasons.

Should this warning be limited to non-empty files?

Thank you in advance for your feedback
