So, assume you receive a document in PDF 1.5 format. Is it very inconvenient 
for you to read, or can you cope with it?

IMO that is the real question. Most people seem to prefer smaller PDFs. If 
that only makes the documents inconvenient to read for others, I think it's 
acceptable. It would be more annoying if the documents were completely 
unreadable for some users.
