    How can I use tcpdf to create pdf documents as version less than 1.4? I am using Zend_Pdf library in my application to open existing pdf files, it only supports PDF Document file for version Less than 1.4.

    Thanks for help.

    TCPDF conforms to ISO-3200:2008 standard (PDF version 1.7).
    If you don't use new features you can manually set the PDF version using
    setPDFVersion() method but this doesn't guarantee the document conformity with
    old format.
    I strongly suggest to keep the current version because it is an ISO standard
    (the most compatible).

    Thank you for your reply!
    I don't need new features for pre-press – so it would be okay.

    But if i open any of the TCPDF-examples in Acrobat Preflight, there is always:
    "Uses Layers: yes", which is a newer feature (PDF 1.5) i can't switch off ...

    Unfortunately every printing shop i know wants 1.3 or 1.4 ...
