Usage Note 24448: Can I change the version of PDF created by ODS PDF?
The version of PDF created by ODS PDF in SAS 8.2 is 1.2, and in SAS 9.1 the version is 1.3. This information can be changed in the PDF file's header record with the below code, which updates the following key in the SAS Registry:
CORE\PRINTING\PRINTERS\PDF\ADVANCED
NOTE: This change only affects the header information; it does not affect the body of the PDF file. The change is discernable by Adobe's Acrobat Reader.
/* the INT value updates the value following the decimal point, i.e.:
2=1.2
3=1.3
4=1.4 */
data _null_;
file "pdf_change.sasxreg";
put @1 "[CORE\PRINTING\PRINTERS\PDF\ADVANCED]";
put @1 '"Version" = INT:2';
run;
proc registry import ="pdf_change.sasxreg";
run;
ods preferences;
ods pdf file="pdf1.2.pdf";
proc print data=sashelp.class;
run;
ods pdf close;
