        Description copied from interface: PdfVersion

        setPdfVersion in interface PdfVersion
        Parameters:
        version - a character representing the PDF version

        Description copied from interface: PdfVersion
        If the PDF Header hasn't been written yet, this changes the version as it will appear in the PDF Header, but only if the parameter refers to a higher version. If the PDF header was already written to the OutputStream, this changes the version as it will appear in the Catalog.
