Hi Robin, thanks for your quick answer. To be honest I believe(!) I need no special PDF 1.6 feature, the PDF just needs to pass some conformance test that checks for version 1.6+. I could probably satisfy that easily by using some external converter but I'd like to avoid that. Are the PDF version downwards compatible, 1.4 being a "subset" of 1.6? I'll try to clarify if there are any specific 1.6 requirements I need.
