PDF::API2 is version 2.020.
Using the following program, I would expect that "test_in.pdf" should be
copied to "test_out.pdf", and that "test_out.pdf" would be a usable file.
use strict;
use warnings;
use PDF::API2;
my $out = PDF::API2::Basic::PDF::File->new;
my $pdf = PDF::API2::Basic::PDF::File->open ("test_in.pdf");
$pdf->copy ($out);
$out->{' version'} = 4;
$out->out_file ("test_out.pdf");
However, Adobe Reader on multiple platforms will not open the file (error
14), and pdfinfo (from poppler) reports the following:
jcw$ pdfinfo test_in.pdf

I'm no expert on PDF file formats, and spending a few minutes staring at it
didn't yield any useful clues.
