Thanks for the workaround! So, to be clear, I'd type in what you wrote
when I'm prompted for the command to use after =C-c C-e p=?
No. I don't think org prompts for the command when exporting. You
should use customize to set the variable org-latex-to-pdf-process to
the above command.
Ah, sorry. You're right. I was thinking of =C-c C-c= from the .tex file
buffer.
Thanks again! It was a fringe scenario for sure!
Alternatively, you can define a new entry in org-export-latex-classes
that does what you want - I just cribbed the existing beamer entry and
modified it a bit (I had called it beamerpdf14 at first, but apparently
numerics are not allowed):
,
| (require 'org-latex)
| (setq beamerpdf '(beamerpdf \\pdfminorversion=4\\documentclass{beamer}
org-beamer-sectioning))
| (add-to-list 'org-export-latex-classes beamerpdf t)
`
and then set
#+LATEX_CLASS: beamerpdf
in your org file.

For the record, I would say Nick's solution is a more flexible setup.

Using tex commands is probably better than shell expansion.

[O] Pass LaTeX exporter option prior to \documentclass
Hi,
I'm creating a beamer presentation and screencasting a walkthrough of
it for work. I wanted to use impress!ve, but was getting errors about
there being no pages in the document. [1] In looking this error up, it
seems that impressive requires pdf version 1.4, which can be passed
with this:
\pdfminorversion=4
Unfortunately, exporting via Orgmode causes this error with that command:
,---
| ! pdfTeX error (setup): \pdfminorversion cannot be changed after data is
| written to the PDF file.
`---
In searching that error, I found the 1.4 documentation, which states:[2]
,---
| it probably means that some package loaded before pdf14 did write
data to the PDF file.
| In case the document class is (indirectly) doing it, you’ll need to
load pdf14 even before the
| \documentclass command, using \RequirePackage{pdf14} as the first
line of your source file.
`---
Using this suggestion solves my problem.
There doesn't seem to be a way to get this as the first line via
Orgmode; I have to export and then go to the .tex file directly to
change it. Any suggestions? I realize this is a pretty fringe case. If
it's one where it's just not worth it to implement something if
nothing already exists, that's completely acceptable to me. I just
thought I'd bring it up! It's primarily a nuisance because impressive
hasn't been updated in about a year. I wouldn't normally use it, but
the ability to zoom, use a spotlight for the mouse, and so on are
just really neat for something like this.

By default org-latex-to-pdf-process is bound to something like this: pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f You could try replacing that with the following: pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o \pdfminorversion=4 $(cat %f) Hope this helps. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
