[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#619461: cups-pdf: PDFVer and GSCall keys not taken into account

[Jean-Philippe Thierry]

Package: cups-pdf
Version: 2.5.0-16
Severity: normal

Hi,

I am trying to set up an encrypted pdf printer using cups-pdf. I find my way in
identifying the right command-line options for encryption with ps2pdf and
everything works fine.
I then tuned the /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf file changing the GSCall key but
without any success so far :( PDF document is generated but is still a PDF 1.3
document (although I set the PDFVer key to 1.4) and encryption options are not
taken into account.
I looked at the logs (DEBUG level) but nothing there except that it says: found
beginning of pdf code (%PDF-1.3).

I tried -dCompatibilityLevel=%s, -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4,
-dCompatibilityLevel=PDFVer; none of them worked. I am probably missing
something straightforward but googling did not help me so...

Thanks for your help

Jean-Philippe
