I have been requested by a financial institution to submit files on pdf 1.4.
I had no idea of what this is until now, but I could check on another computer with Acrobat Reader that all my files are pdf 1.3, the default and standard with Preview.
I have a Macbook Pro 15" 2018, running Big Sur 11.6.
How can I "upgrade" or transform my files without spending 180$ just for this occasion?
HELP WELCOME
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.2
User applications that save or export to PDF do not have any means to specify the specific PDF version. It is what the relevant PDF library for that application provides as a default, or what version the PDF specification requires for a type of PDF. On Big Sur 11.6.1 using Pages v11.2, it exports PDF as v1.3, just as it does when printing to PDF > Save as PDF.
The current LibreOffice Writer 7.2.2 when one exports to PDF, and not choosing any General or Structure PDF options, to PDF v1.6 — because it is using its own PDF library.
If I create a new PDF with PDFPenPro 13 PDF Editor and add text, when it is saved on macOS, it is a PDF v1.3 document.
Microsoft 365 v16.54 may have its own PDF library and export Word documents to PDF v1.4. I don't have it so don't know the exported version information.

Thank you very much. I had saved a text copied from Safari as pdf.. it was pdf1.3. Now I downloaded LibreOffice 7.2.2 and exported this document to PDF, and when I checked with Acrobat Reader , the new file was pdf 1.6!
I will use the same procedure with my PDFpen edited files
You made my day!
You are welcome.
