The warning isn't spurious. It's warning you because the PDF being generated by XeTeX is of a version less than 1.6, but you're including a PDF or features that require at least version 1.6. To get rid of this warning, you can use XeTeX's --output-driver command-line option: xelatex --output-driver="xdvipdfmx -V 6" myfile.tex This command-line option instructs the xdvipdfmx program to generate a version 1.6 PDF. It's important to note, however, that setting this version has no impact on the PDF features used by XeTeX—it only changes the internal version number in the file itself. So you could, for example, have XeTeX generate a version 1.3 PDF that contains version 1.6 features. (Don't do that.) --Kevin Godby -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
