I’m using Aspose.PDF to convert PDF file into PDF/A.
But its showing error in generated log file and failed to convert.
code :
Aspose.Pdf.License license = new Aspose.Pdf.License();
license.SetLicense(“Aspose.Pdf.lic”);
string dataDir = “C:/Users/hp/Documents/”;
Document pdfDocument = new Document(dataDir + “InvoiceTemplateSPDM_20181206130112032.pdf”);
pdfDocument.Convert(dataDir + “log.xml”, PdfFormat.PDF_A_3A, ConvertErrorAction.None);
dataDir = dataDir + “PDFToPDFA_out1.pdf”;
pdfDocument.Save(dataDir);
Close();

Thanks for contacting support.

We have tested the scenario using Aspose.PDF for .NET 18.12 and were unable to notice any issue. The output PDF file passed the validation test without any error. For your kind reference, an output PDF and Validation Test results are attached.

Thanks for your feedback.

The problem was not related to log file or stream but with second parameter of ConverErrorAction.None. With ConverErrorAction.None, those parts of PDF which can not be converted into PDF/A are left unchanged that is why document will not be PDF/A-compatible. ConvertErrorAction.Delete makes API to delete incompatible content/parts of the document resulting valid output will be generated.
