v4.6.8

With this version it is now possible to ask PDFWriter to generate an Xref table using PDF 1.5 Xref streams, instead of a default method of writing Xref table. This allows creating PDF files that are larger than 10gbs, a limitation created by how default xref tables are written.

To use this feature provide true as the value of a new parameter in PDFCreationSettings, as in the following example:

EStatusCode status = pdfWriter.StartPDF(
    "./myfile.pdf",
    ePDFVersion15,
    LogConfiguration::DefaultLogConfiguration(),
    PDFCreationSettings(
        true,
        true,
        EncryptionOptions::DefaultEncryptionOptions(), 
        // use true as the 4th parameter value to set WriteXrefAsXrefStream 
        // and generate xref table as xref stream
        true
    )
);

Make sure to set the version to one that's higher or equal to PDF1.5 on your PDFs to mark to readers that you are using this feature (or other 1.5 or higher features).
