I have tried the ebb that comes with TeX Live 2007 and I get the  
following error:

Version of PDF file (1.4) is newer than version limit specification.
Can't handle file type for file named pic.pdf

I have tried that, but that gives an option clash, i guess because  
beamer already loads graphicx.
