Re: [NTG-context] pdf bizareness...

Jonathan Kew's response... --- You can't use \pdfminorversion in XeTeX, that's a pdfTeX-specific command. I think you need to pass the -V command-line option to xdvipdfmx (I expect this can be done somewhere in the ConTeXt scripts, but don't know any details), or else set it in the dvipdfmx.cfg configuration file. AFAIK, the usual default is 4, but you can set it higher if you need to embed other PDFs that use a higher version. JK ---

Somebody knows the details ? Alan At Saturday 28/06/2008 13:45, you wrote:

Yep Hans, that one. Ok I won't bother about it any longer.

Any clues regarding the other issues, i.e.

(1) the scrambled PDF headers ?

(2) the inability to lower the \pdfminorversion setting ?

For XeTeX it's set in tex.rb: @@runoptions['xetex'] = ['--8bit','-output-driver="xdvipdfmx -E -d 4 -V 5"'] you can modify that one, but it will be replaced next time when you update ConTeXt.

Can you please ask on the XeTeX mailing list if there is some command to specify PDF version with a command? Then, "-V 5" could go out of tex.rb into the format. But I'm not sure if that functionality has already been implemented (though it should probably be trivial to do).
