Re: How do you determine PDF version?

I noticed the PDF file I've created using Quartz is always:

%PDF-1.3

What determines this and how do I create a PDF-1.6?

Other people have answered this, but I wanted to point out an additional bit. The version of a PDF file isn't solely determined by the first few bytes of the PDF; in PDF 1.4 and later, the version specified at the start of the PDF file can be overridden by a / Version entry in the document's catalog. (See section 3.4.1 of the PDF 1.5 specification for more info.) This is why Quartz PDF files always start with %PDF-1.3 but may, in fact, be PDF 1.4 or later.
