PDF output versions?
I just noticed that when I compile ConTeXt files with texexec -pdf, my copy of Acrobat 5 complains about "the PDF version of this file is too new for this viewer", but when I compile LaTeX files with pdflatex, I don't get that complaint. Is there some way to set ConTeXt and texexec to create PDF files of the earlier version? (I'll upgrade Acrobat eventually, but I have the full version and use the editing features a fair bit, and I gather that having the full version of Acrobat 5 and the free version of Acrobat 7 on the same machine causes lots of headaches.) - Brooks

Try \pdfoptionpdfminorversion=4 But also have look at http://sarovar.org/project/shownotes.php?group_id=106&release_id=475 (extract from notes) =========================================================================== Main changes of pdfTeX 1.30.0-rc5 =========================================================================== - pdfxtex (introduced with 1.20a) is gone; all extensions are now in pdf(e)tex. - Some primitives have been renamed; the old names will still work, but are deprecated and some give a warning that they are obsolete: \pdfoptionpdfminorversion -> \pdfminorversion luigi

put \pdfminorversion=4 somewhere in your doc and cross your fingers (and don't use too new features) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
