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.
