Description Telesto 2021-02-16 15:13:43 UTC 
Description:
PDF Export: show the file PDF version  and/or make the version selectable (if possible)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Follow bug 140450
2. Do the same with 6.2

Actual Results:
Notice version bump of PDF export

Expected Results:
Communicating the version it will be exported to kind of 'nice'. Being able to select instead of hardcode would maybe even nicer. Not sure if the exporter can do older format versions. 

Background: the overlay isn't rendered in PDF-Xchange Free (legacy). Intended to check if this would be resolved using older version of the PDF standard


Reproducible: Always

Export pdf box 6.4 vs 7.2

I don't understand which non-available options are.

Attached comparison 6.4 vs 7.2, with 6.2 there are even less options.

And for example https://www.pdf-online.com/osa/validate.aspx will show.

The versioning is slower compared to expected. So picking doesn't make sense, currently. there was a bump between 6.2 and 7.2 from 1.5 to 1.6

Miklos, your patch was referenced by Tomoyuki. What do you think about Telesto's request?
Comment 6 Miklos Vajna 2021-02-19 10:18:11 UTC 
I don't mind if somebody has time to implement it. I think it's already possible to ask for a specific PDF version using the UNO API, so this is mostly a UI task.
Comment 7 Heiko Tietze 2021-02-19 12:21:17 UTC 
So let's do it.
