Luatex and pdftex have the \pdfminorversion primitive to set the required PDF version. AFAIK there is no way how XeTeX could communicate such a requirement to xdvipdfmx. The only way is to call xelatex -no-pdf ... and xdvipdfmx -V4 ... (default is PDF 1.5 but PDX/x-1a:2003 requires PDF 1.4). > > I really don't know tbh, > Bruno > > > Zdeněk Wagner > http://ttsm.icpf.cas.cz/team/wagner.shtml > http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz > > > > -------------------------------------------------- > Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: > http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex >
