Convert PDF to PDF/A in VB.NET

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hello,

This time I downloaded Aspose.PDF to see if I can use it to convert PDF files in PDF/A. Unfortunately, I see, that I have many PDF files Aspose.PDF is unable to convert.

My code snippet is below. Source PDF files I was unable to convert are an attachment.

Could you please tell me if you are able issues I found?

For Each sFile In lst
Try
Dim sPDFFileNameExt = GetFileNameExt(sFile)

            Using pdfDocument = New Document(sFile)
                Dim sOutDir4File = GetFileDirectory(IO.Path.Combine(sOutFolder, sPDFFileNameExt))

                If Not IO.Directory.Exists(sOutDir4File) Then
                    IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(sOutDir4File)
                End If

                If pdfDocument.Convert(IO.Path.Combine(sOutFolder, sPDFFileNameExt + " - log.xml"), PdfFormat.PDF_A_1B, ConvertErrorAction.None) Then
                    pdfDocument.Save(IO.Path.Combine(sOutFolder, sPDFFileNameExt))
                Else
                    Console.WriteLine(">> Failed attempt to convert file: '" + sFile + "'")
                End If
            End Using
        Catch ex As Exception
            Console.WriteLine(">>>> " + ex.Message + ". File: '" + sFile + "'")
        End Try
    Next

We have tested the scenario in our environment while using 22.1 version and noticed that all files were except 21,5 cm x 30 cm.pdf were not correctly converted into PDF/A format. There was no error thrown by the API but output PDFs were not PDF/A compliant. Therefore, we have logged following issues in our issue tracking system:

Hello @asad.ali,

Thank you for your fast answer!

I hope your team will be able to fix these issues, because I have plans to license and use Aspose.PDF for my needs, as I already use Aspose.Words and Aspose.Cells.

So, please keep me updated!
