Asger Hautop Drewsen commented on PDFBOX-5897:
----------------------------------------------
Basically for testing purposes. How do I test that a printer/viewer can
correctly handle a PDF 1.3 if I can never create it?
> Can't create an empty PDDocument with specific PDF version

> Key: PDFBOX-5897
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5897
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.0.3 PDFBox
> Reporter: Asger Hautop Drewsen
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently `new PDDocument()` creates a version 1.4 PDF.
> Changing the version afterwards with `.setVersion(...)` only works if the
> version is greater than or equal to 1.4.
> It would be nice if there was a constructor for `PDDocument` where you could
> specify the PDF version especially since you can't downgrade it to a lower
> version after it has been created.
