How can I generate a PDF 1.5 file?

| I have a .doc file which I need to sign and fax. My procedure has
been:
- Create a PDF file with Acrobat (*)
- Convert it to PS with 'pdftops'
- Fax it with HylaFAX
The problem is that when I run 'pdftops' it complains (and later
crashes) about
the input file:
Error: PDF version 1.6 -- xpdf supports version 1.5 (continuing
anyway)
Is there any way to ask Acrobat to generate PDF 1.5? (or 1.4, etc?)
TIA,
-Ramon F Herrera
(*) I have Acrobat Professional 7 in one computer and 8 in another

I have Acrobat 8 here, but it should be pretty much
the same for you:
Save As, set File Type to "Optimized"
This should enable the "Settings" button. Click on it.
in "Make Compatible with" pick the version you want.
(1.5 will be Acrobat 6.)

Is there a reason why you couldn't print your doc file directly to
Postscript?

Or use Ghostscript to convert PDF to Postscript ?
