I created a short document
http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf
using Context and with a clickable TOC and one thumbnail. The thumbnail was
created with the Han The Thanh pdftex macro code I mentioned recently. Some
users view it fine, others with earlier versions of Acrobat Reader have
problems. A friend ftom the InDesign/Distiller world suggests that I recreate
the pdf with the compatibility option turned on. Does this suggestion have
any meaning in the Context/pdftex world?
Can interested readers read the above url OK?

just guessing...
\pdfminorversion 3
or
\pdfobjcompresslevel=0 % 0-3 (default 3); 0= don't compress object streams
If I remember it right Acrobat versions <6 can't read pdf with obj
stream compression. See pdftex manual for details.

Yep!

Hi John,
the output looks fine to me, I see your document on Acrobat 8.1 at a Windows
machine and have no problems.
Your friend could mean to reduce the PDF version of your document, you could
use PDFTeX's \pdfminorversion for this purpose.
Wolfgang

No. :-)

It's PDF 1.5, so readers need at least AR6.
You can switch to e.g. PDF 1.3 with \pdfminorversion=3

If they can read PDF 1.5 (i.e. AR6++), they can also handle stream compression.
