title: Reportlab PDF version generation problems
body: <p>I am using reportlab PDF package with platypus to generate some PDF files. On linux server and on windows box I have the same python application, same version of reportlab package (although slightly different python version - 2.6.5 vs 2.6.6). I am using my own fonts, I do not depend on system fonts. Lately, I have noticed that PDF generated on these two platforms are a bit different - some paragraphs are a few points vertically up in one version compared to the other version.</p>
  
  <p>I was trying to found what is the difference between these plaforms, but I have failed to find difference.</p>
  
  <p>Finally, when I compare PDF files, one file is PDF 1.3 and second is PDF 1.4 version so I think that problem must be this. I am not aware of any option how to set PDF version in reportlab, please can anyone point me out how to set proper version of generated PDF file, or maybe to set some additional properties of reportlab output?</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE:</p>
  
  <p>using reportlab version 2.4:</p>
