When it creates a PDF file, Documaker’s PDF Print Driver begins using the lowest possible PDF version (version 1.3). If features are found in the transaction that require a higher version of Acrobat, the PDF Print Driver increases the required version accordingly.
When new features are introduced to the PDF specification, older versions of Acrobat will not support them. If you open a PDF file that includes features not supported by your version of Acrobat (or Acrobat Reader), Acrobat warns you that some features may not be supported. Here are some examples:
