if I understand http://www.pragma-ade.nl/pdftex/pdftex-s.pdf correctly
than one can change the PDF minor version by setting 
\pdfoptionpdfminorversion. For example I tried this on a TeXlive-2007
installation to get a PDF 1.3 file.

\pdfoptionpdfminorversion=3
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\begin{document}
foo
\end{document}
