Hello!
We use licenced Aspose.Total product for Java latest versions (cells, words, pdf) on Linux server Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS.
The problem happens while converting files from pdf to pdfa-3b.
No errors while convertion - but the resulted document does not pass pdfa-3b validation.
Files are attached - input document to convert, resulted document, conversion log and validation failure in PDF Tools Online - Validate PDF and https://demo.verapdf.org/.
Conversion options we use:
pdfDocument = new Document(“problemPdf.pdf”);
conversionOptions = new PdfFormatConversionOptions(“filePDFA3b.log”, PdfFormat.PDF_A_3B, ConvertErrorAction.Delete);
pdfDocument.save(“OUTPUTDOCUMENT.pdf”)

We have investigated the earlier logged ticket and it has been closed now. The issue is connected to errors during incorrect validation on PDF Tools Online - Validate PDF.
Adobe Acrobat and AvePDF validators also show that the output document is valid.
Also, we can use Aspose.PDF to validate results:
Document pdfDocument = new Document(dataDir+"OUTPUTDOCUMENT.pdf");
System.out.println("is valid: "+ pdfDocument.validate(dataDir+"filePDFA3b_validate.log",PdfFormat.PDF_A_3B ));
pdfDocument.close();
