With PDF can define the PDF version and keep it for example in version 1.3?

[developertrinidad08]

Hello everyone
I have the following problem: PDF returns the file in version 1.7 by default and I need it in previous versions, more specifically in 1.3.
Is it possible to specify the version of the PDF so that it directly creates it in the version I need?
Or is it something I have to do with another library?

Right now it’s hard-coded but it could be variable (I’ll have to check the spec on the other hard-coded header data).
Out of interest, why do you need it to be 1.3?

Andrew, thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question.

The reason is that I'm making an app that prints reports from a client. The problem I found is that there are very few printers that support sending a PDF version 1.7 directly to them. Version 1.3 is the standard that printers support and that's the reason why I need to use that version.

I've currently tried using Ghostscript to change the PDF version, but for some reason this increases the printing delay a lot It goes from taking 30 seconds to 2 or 3 minutes.

@developertrinidad08 I have enabled a compile time version setting 19de6f3 and documented it in the README
