I want to read the dictionaries in uncompressed form. Therefore I need a PDF without object compression of PDF-1.5. Thus correctly I must make another feature request: * Turning object compression on and off. xdvipdfmx only provides: -z number Set zlib compression level (0-9) [9] > Because the first is a job for > GhostScript, not for the output driver.

There is another communication problem: Suppose, there is a package that can generate PDF code for different PDF versions (probably mostly by enabling/disabling features), then the package does not know the output pdf version. Therefore, support for pdfTeX's \pdfminorversion, \pdfcompressionlevel, \pdfobjcompressionlevel would be nice.
