Background
EngageOne Compose / Generate users often need to know what Generate PDF Version their Design output will produce
The following gives the determining factors to establish this.
What drives the Generate PDF Version ?
The type of fonts and the design language used in the Application design and subsequently published to PDF, produce the different embedded or referenced Generate PDF font format types, each of which require adherence to a specific PDF Version standard.
