Hi. I'm trying to include some PDF files generated by Acrobat 7, which means they are PDF v1.6. ConTeXt (recent distribution, on linux) complains that "PDF version 1.6: Xpdf only supports 1.5". I thought that maybe I could switch to using Ghostscript instead of Xpdf-tools to process the files, in the hope that ghostscript would support 1.6, but I'm stymied trying to pass the correct parameter via texexec. Am I on the right track, and if so, what should I type? Many thanks, Duncan

juyst ignore the message; a new version of pdftex will support the latest pdf, and in most cases new features are just more entri4e sin dictionaries; i can imagine that it affects pdftops but not pdf inclusion because that's mostly copying and object reference tracking. Do you get faulty files?
