I had a similar problem with PDFLaTeX when I was including PDFs that were generated by Adobe Illustrator. The solution in my case was very simple: when exporting the file from Illustrator, it gives you an option as which version of PDF you want to save it and I chose 1.4. I don't know about Open Office, but I think you can set the PDF version in Acrobat Distiller.<div>

<br>
I am having problems getting XeLaTeX to consistently include<br>
PDF's. Some work but many do not. In the latter cases, there is<br>
simply a blank space where the graphic should be and the<br>
following message is displayed in the log:<br>
<br>
** WARNING ** Version of PDF file (1.5) is newer than version limit specification.<br>
** WARNING ** No image converter available for converting file<br>
"figs/graphic.pdf" to PDF format.<br>
** WARNING ** >> Please check if you have 'D' option in config file.<br>
** WARNING ** pdf: image inclusion failed for "figs/graphic.pdf".<br>
<br>
The PDF's are sometimes generated in OpenOffice and other with<br>
Acrobat Distiller 6.0.1. I cannot see any consistency in what<br>
program was used to generate the PDF.<br>
<br>
PDFlatex give me no such problems.<br>
<br>
I am using MikTeX 2.7 and have updated my files. The XeTeX<br>
version appears to be .999.7.<br>
<br>
I have seen many references in mailing list archives to similar<br>
problems, but nothing that appears to my addled brain as a clear<br>
or definitive answer. I would very much appreciate it if someone<br>
could offer some suggestions for this non-technical user. Must I<br>
tell xdvipdfmx to accept v 1.5 PDFs, and, if so, how would I do<br>
this? What is the "D option" reference about? Would installing<br>
MikTeX 2.8 help?<br>
<br>
Any assistance would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
