Why does the customer care what the PDF version is? Does it matter? And for
that matter, are your PDF 1.4 files really 1.4 to start with??

Subject: [iText-questions] PDF header changed from 1.6 to 1.4 when joining files
Hi
I have used the concatenation example to add a legend sheet to a map sheet.
Each of the two files has a %PDF-1.6 signature, but the combined file has
%PDF-1.4 as the signature.
String mapName = "map.pdf";
String legendName = "legend.pdf";
String newName = "combined.pdf";
String[] files = { mapName, legendName };
try
{
Document document = newDocument();
PdfCopy copy = newPdfCopy(document,
newFileOutputStream(newName));
document.open();
PdfReader reader;
for(inti = 0; i < files.length; i++)
{
reader = newPdfReader(files[i]);
int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
for(intpage = 0; page < n; )
{
copy.addPage(copy.getImportedPage(reader, ++page));
}
copy.freeReader(reader);
reader.close();
}
document.close();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
write_log("Error - "+ ex.getClass() + " " +
ex.getMessage() + " - merging " + fileName);
}
Why is this happening? It is confusing some of my customers who think the
document is version 1.4
I can add a version tag with
copy.setPdfVersion(PdfCopy.PDF_VERSION_1_6);
but this doesn't change the header.
