ValidationNone no longer supported in Merge() function since v0.5.0 #708
Description
Hi - first of all thanks for all your work on this library!
I noticed that this started failing as of upgrading to the latest version :
-Using version 0.5.0 - github.com/pdfcpu/pdfcpu v0.5.0
-Using Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.3324)
-Using Go version go version go1.21.1 windows/amd64
Steps to Reproduce : call the function :
func MergeCreateFile(inFiles []string, outFile string, conf *model.Configuration) (err error)
...with a conf.ValidationMode of "model.ValidationNone" and see if the config is overwritten
I had this simple wrapper function that would call "api.MergeCreateFile()" with my specific config :
func combinePDFs(allDocuments []pdfDocument, outPath string) error {
conf := model.NewDefaultConfiguration()
conf.ValidationMode = model.ValidationNone
allPaths := getPathsFromDocumentSlice(allDocuments)
if err := api.MergeCreateFile(allPaths, outPath, conf); err != nil {
return &models.CmdErrorDetails{
IsFatal: true,
Title: "ERR MERGING PDFS",
Message: "Something went wrong when cominbing the input PDF's. Details : \n",
ValuesList: append([]string{
err.Error(),
fmt.Sprintf("outPath : '%v'", outPath),
fmt.Sprintf("conf : '%+v'", conf),
}, allPaths[0], allPaths[1], "...", allPaths[len(allPaths)-1]),
}
}
return nil
}
I want to ignore the validation errors for this particular operation, but as of be32323, it appears that this functionality is no longer supported
In the previous version, it used to work fine. Now I get this error and this output :

Something went wrong when cominbing the input PDF's. Details :

This file could be PDF/A compliant but pdfcpu only supports versions <= PDF V1.7
outPath : 'C\path\test\multi_employer_test/test.pdf'

So it looks like "Merge()" no longer supports config "ValidationMode" of "ValidationNone" - not sure if that was intentional based on be32323?
For now my work around is just reverting to "0.4.0" for my use case.
