DO NOT REPLY [Bug 48519] New: Tagged PDFs may use PDF 1.5 Standard
Structure Types
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48519
Summary: Tagged PDFs may use PDF 1.5 Standard Structure Types
Product: Fop
Version: all
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: pdf
AssignedTo: fop-dev@xmlgraphics.apache.org
ReportedBy: vhennebert@gmail.com
The THead, TFoot and TBody standard structure types have only been added in the
fourth edition of PDF Reference (PDF 1.5). Yet PDFs produced by FOP are still
declared as PDF 1.4. Some mechanism is needed to increase the PDF version to
1.5 when such tags are being used.

That said, PDF 1.4 is getting really old now (Nov 2001 according to Adobe's
website). Maybe just upgrading to PDF 1.5 as a minimal version, which is the
simplest, would be ok for users.

That's the other possibility, but that would require some work.

And throw an exception if a feature requiring PDF 1.5 is being used? Hmmm. Why
not. Maybe a bit simpler to implement than the previous solution. Although,
"yet another extension", etc.

That would not be acceptable. The biggest problem is the millions of old reader
versions installed within large organisations. Also, don't forget that PDF/A-1
requires PDF 1.4.

I don't see a problem with adding another extension or fop.xconf setting. As
long as its documented correctly. Making PDF 1.5 optional is the preferred
option.
Thanks,
Chris

PDF version is related to Reader version.
In certain cases, FOP users may want to generate a PDF compatible with an old
Reader version.
IMHO, there are 2 options:
- inform user what version of PDF is generated, depending on actual
functionalities are used in that PDF;
- block the target PDF version by setting it directly in the XSL-FO (using for
example either a FOX extension or an XML PI).
