> Strictly speaking not even a bug, merely a nuisance, but it might indicate an underlying issue in version handling.
> When generating a  [^HelloWorld.pdf] as in [this stack overflow question|https://stackoverflow.com/q/68904812/1729265], the resulting PDF starts like this:
> {noformat}
> %PDF-1.6
> %öäüß
> 1 0 obj
> <<
> /Type /Catalog
> /Version /1.4
> /Pages 2 0 R
> >> 
> {noformat}
> This *Version* value *1.4* makes no sense in a freshly created PDF with a {{%PDF-1.6}} header and will be ignored by a standard conform PDF processor.
> So it should not be there to start with.
> Its presence might indicate, though, that internally PDFBox has a non-appropriate idea which PDF version it is wanting to communicate to a processor. If so, that should also be cleared up.
