What is the best way to read in a version 1.2 PDF and save it as a version 1.6? I was able to combine the two documents then encrypt them which converts the entire document to version 1.6. I'm encrypting it with a blank password so anyone can read it. I'm wondering if there is a better method to do this. Honestly, it took me a while to figure this out. I've been using all the versions of this library from 9 to the current and I've combined literally thousands of PDFs and never seen this issue before.

The documentation says you can set the PDF Version using the SetInformation function. I have never tried this, so I have no idea whether it has any effect on the format of the the contents when you save it. Have you tried anything less ingenious (and clever) than encrypting it without a password?

That worked great! I'm going to use that instead. I was pretty sure the encryption would probably work. Since a 1.2 file can only go to 40 bits and to encrypt at 128 and higher requires a later version, it would have to update the version to get that level of encryption. This is a much better solution!
I did try searching the forums, but "version" is found in nearly every post since the user needs to specify which version of the control they are using! Again, thanks!

No problem! I had just remembered having seen a means to set the stuff you see with Control-D in Acrobat, and I had an idea that PDF version was visible there also.
