Asger Hautop Drewsen commented on PDFBOX-5897:
----------------------------------------------
So the suggested solution to creating an empty PDF 1.3 document (and then
adding stuff to it) is to bundle an already existing PDF 1.3 file?
Seems crazy compared to just supporting `new PDDocument(1.3f)`
> Can't create an empty PDDocument with specific PDF version

> 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.
