If you're going to go that route, it's also possible to have the program 
do conversion from PDF1.5 to PDF1.4, or whatever, before it passes the 
document to the viewer. It's more involved, but still do-able. And with 
the speed of today's machines, hardly noticeable in the overhead it 
introduces.
