["Mehdi Houshmand (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1043?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13052448#comment-13052448 ] 

Mehdi Houshmand commented on PDFBOX-1043:
-----------------------------------------

I've attached a patch to fix this issue. 

However, the spec is somewhat ambiguous about the use case. The intention for this feature is for "Incremental Updates", such that trailers can be appended to the end of the document, and should one of their /Version parameter be greater than that of the header, the version in the header is overridden. Our use case is that we don't know until half-way through writing the PDF document what version to specify. In this scenario, there is only a single trailer and the /Version parameter will override the header.

> The version of the PDF document is read ONLY in the header. PDF 1.4 allows the version to also be specified in the document catalog (see section 3.6.1 PDF 1.5 reference).
