[DVIPDFMx] dvipdfmx and inkscape PDF 1.4 images

[Jonathan Underwood]

Hi,

With reference to this bug report:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=451612

it seems that recently there's been a bit of a regression with
dvipdfmx behaviour. Or, at least a regression when used in conjunction
with version 0.4 of xdvipdfmx. I am not entirely sure where the
problem lies here, but certainly it has creeped in between the
20071115 snapshot and the 20080520 snapshot.

Specifically, with the 20080520 snapshot:

$ xdvipdfmx test.xdv
test.xdv -> test.pdf
[1
** WARNING ** Version of PDF file (1.4) is newer than version limit
specification.
** WARNING ** No image converter available for converting file "./testme.pdf" to
PDF format.
** WARNING ** >> Please check if you have 'D' option in config file.
** WARNING ** pdf: image inclusion failed for "./testme.pdf".

whereas with the 20071115 snapshot things seem to work:

$ xdvipdfmx test.xdv
test.xdv -> test.pdf
[1
** WARNING ** Version of PDF file (1.4) is newer than version limit
specification.

There is more detail in the bug report - I am not too sure where the
problem lies here, and help would be gratefully received.

Thanks,
Jonathan
