Re. comment #3:

There is no such a thing as "PDF-3" or "PDF-2".

Can you please look up again and give an exact description of what you are
talking about?

There are the following "plain" PDF versions:

PDF-1.0 released by Adobe in 1993
PDF-1.1 released by Adobe in 1994
PDF-1.2 released by Adobe in 1996
PDF-1.3 released by Adobe in 1999
PDF-1.4 released by Adobe in 2001
PDF-1.5 released by Adobe in 2003
PDF-1.6 released by Adobe in 2004
PDF-1.7 released by Adobe in 2006

Control over the specification of PDF-1.7 was given up by Adobe in 2008.
Stewardship over it was passed to ISO which is now augmenting all further
development of the general PDF standard.

ISO published the original PDF-1.7 specs in 2008 as "ISO 32000-1" standard
(almost un-changed from the original Adobe specs).

In 2017 ISO published PDF-2.0.

The there are a few other special-purpose standards derived from general PDF.
One of the most important ones for the general public is the series of
standards which are addressing archiving purposes:

- PDF/A-1a  and  PDF/A-1b published in 2005 by ISO
- PDF/A-2 published in 2011 by ISO
- PDF/A-3 published in 2011 by ISO

There are more PDF file format standards (not all of them under ISO's
stewardship) for special purposes, such as "PDF/X*", "PDF/VT", "PDF/E",
"PDF/UA" and "PDF/A". However, none of them are called "PDF-2" or "PDF-3".
