Change PDF version of a PDF with PitStop.

This Enfocus PitStop command allows us to change the version of the PDF format that a PDF document conforms to.

This change of version number does not change anything else within the document. It's a simple tag change.

Warning: Some programs, such as Acrobat, change this format numbering of a document when saving it to adjust it to the version corresponding to the one that matches its time of release, since Adobe used to match both things (version of the PDF format and version of the program Acrobat; for example: Acrobat 5 matched the release of version 1.4 of the PDF format).

This means, for example, that a document that was originally 1.3 may have been opened and modified with a version of Acrobat later than Acrobat 4 and, for this reason the version now tagged in the document has become 1.6, although it is actually still 1.3 . This command can correct this.
