For the record, I would say Nick's solution is a more flexible setup.

Alternatively, you can define a new entry in org-export-latex-classes
that does what you want - I just cribbed the existing beamer entry and
modified it a bit (I had called it "beamerpdf14" at first, but apparently
numerics are not allowed):
,
| (require 'org-latex)
| (setq beamerpdf '("beamerpdf" "\\pdfminorversion=4\\documentclass{beamer}"
org-beamer-sectioning))
| (add-to-list 'org-export-latex-classes beamerpdf t)
`
and then set
#+LATEX_CLASS: beamerpdf
in your org file.

Ah, sorry. You're right. I was thinking of =C-c C-c= from the .tex file buffer.
Thanks again! It was a fringe scenario for sure!

No. I don't think org prompts for the command when exporting. You
should use customize to set the variable org-latex-to-pdf-process to
the above command.

Thanks for the workaround! So, to be clear, I'd type in what you wrote
when I'm prompted for the command to use after =C-c C-e p=?

I did some testing. The following should work.
pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o
\\pdfminorversion=4 \\input{%f}
Using tex commands is probably better than shell expansion.

By default org-latex-to-pdf-process is bound to something like this: pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f You could try replacing that with the following: pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o \pdfminorversion=4 $(cat %f) Hope this helps. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
