    Description

      PDF/X-3:2002 should go with PDF Version 1.3

      Wouldn't it be cool if you can print a real book with Apache FOP?

      Apache FOP is a great tool for creating pdf documents from xml.
      Thx for all your effort you put into the development of this tool.

      To be able to print the pdf to a real book with http://www.blurb.com/make/pdf_to_book
      we need a PDF/X-3:2002 in PDF Version 1.3, because PDF Version 1.4 is not accepted.

      Q: Is there a possibility to produce a PDF "1.3" Version for PDF/X-3:2002 with some setting?

      Currently i try to generate a pdf for printing at blurb (http://www.blurb.com/make/pdf_to_book).
      When uploading the generated pdf to blub i get the follwing message:

      "The PDF you selected is not in PDF/X-3:2002 format or PDF 1.3 compatible. You should use the PDF/X-3:2002 format set with Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) compatibility for correct printing with Blurbs network. Please revise your PDF and try again."

      The pdf is not accepted because it is the Version 1.4.
      I've also checked the PDF with the Preflight of "Adobe Acrobat X",
      witch also is complaining that the PDF/X-3:2002 should go with Version 1.3.
      Preflight Summary-Report: "Error: PDF-Version is newer than 1.3."

      Q: I've seen on the enhancement list that it is planned to have a parameter in FOP
      (config, or so) to change the Version. Is there some idea when this may be?

      Thx a lot in advance,
      Willi
