Change PDF version

What it does

Changes the Acrobat and PDF version of a PDF.

The Acrobat version is the sum of the two numbers that make up the PDF version, for example: PDF 1.4 = Acrobat 5.

Note: Changing the PDF version will not change the attributes of a higher version PDF to those of a lower one - it only changes the version number. As higher versions of Acrobat always save the PDF version number up to their version, even if nothing has changed, this Action can be useful to reset the PDF version to the one used to create the PDF.

Example

If you configure this Action to change the PDF version to PDF 1.5, both the PDF version and the Acrobat version will be changed. The new PDF version will be PDF 1.5; the new Acrobat version will be 6.0.
