I noticed [http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=77fb2e809
commit 77fb2e809] added a --pdfver option to gropdf that remains undocumented
in its man page.
Interestingly, the document posted in bug #66452 mentions this option in
passing (as a sample use for GROPDF_OPTIONS), but does not otherwise document
it. But the option requires a bit of explanation, because it has some
restrictions:
$ groff -Tpdf -P--pdfver=1.5 < /dev/null
gropdf: warning: Only pdf versions 1.4 or 1.7 are supported, not '1.5'
$ groff -Tpdf -P--pdfver=1.7 < /dev/null
$
(Bug #66453 also asks that material be added to gropdf documentation, but that
ticket covers language elements, mostly imported from the now-removed pdfmark
documentation.)
