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.

Somebody knows the details ?

maybe it makes sense to support the \pdfminotversion primitive in xetex; after all, its' determined by what trickery happens in the macro package

At the moment the only reasonable answer is to edit tex.rb (every time when you update ConTeXt) I'm affraid. Hans doesn't provide any command line opton to change that, and apparently Jonathan didn't provide any primitive to change that either. You could create or edit a configuration file for dvipdfmx, but I'm affraid that passing an option to xdvipdfmx (which is done by default in ConTeXt already) would overwrite that setting anyway. You have two options if you really really need that: 1.) bribe Hans for command-line option and volunteer to write man pages for TeX Live (for ConTeXt they are still missing) 2.) bribe Jonathan to add a primitive (but have a good excuse for it :) Mojca
