Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-5897:
-----------------------------------------
I'm reluctant because it's something really just for you. Some people might
misunderstand the new constructor (e.g. because the final PDF might still have
a higher version). So that's my offer at this time, and I think it isn't
difficult to work with that one if you put it in the resources of your testing
tool. I can create files with different version if you want. (What I did was to
create a 1.4 file and then used NOTEPAD++).
{code}
try (PDDocument doc = new PDDocument())
{
PDPage page = new PDPage();
doc.addPage(page);
doc.save("empty.pdf", CompressParameters.NO_COMPRESSION);
}
{code}
> Can't create an empty PDDocument with specific PDF version

> 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
> Attachments: empty.pdf

>
> 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.
