Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-1922:
--------------------------------------------
As far as I can remember it, I wasn't aware of the fact that a pdf may have to
versions (header + trailer). In the hindsight the change wasn't that good. I
agree with [~msahyoun], we have to overhaul the get/setVersion methods. Both
must take both possible values into account following the pdf spec.

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Parsing
> Affects Versions: 1.8.4, 1.8.5, 1.8.6, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Tim Allison
> Assignee: Tilman Hausherr
> Priority: Minor

> On older pdf files, the NonSequentialParser returns a different PDFVersion
> than the traditional parser via the call:
> document.getDocument().getVersion().
> I think this is because NonSequentialParser is not reading the header but
> relying on the default 1.4 if no version is found in the trailer.
> Many apologies if this is a duplicate. I feel like I've seen this issue
> elsewhere, but I can't track it down.
