Create the PDFA (1a/1b) compliant PDF document

Aspose.PDF Product Family

I have the requirement where I know upfront whether to create PDF or PDFA(1a/1b) compliant document, so I want to create the PDF in that way. On aspose.pdf documentation I found the way to convert the existing document to PDFA but not the way to create one in first place.

You can create a new PDFA compliant file with convert method. I request you to try following code and share your feedback.

Document doc = new Document();
doc.Pages.Add();
PdfFormatConversionOptions options = new PdfFormatConversionOptions(PdfFormat.PDF_A_1A, ConvertErrorAction.Delete);
doc.Convert(options);
doc.Save(dataDir + "Converted1a.pdf");

I tried to create the PDFA with above suggested approach, but the created PDF file is not conforming with the PDFA standards.

Here is the code I tried and generated PDF PDFA_test.pdf (23.9 KB) pdfa_validation.jpeg (67.6 KB)

private static void exportTable(String csvFilePath, int noOfColumns) throws IOException {
	BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(csvFilePath));
	String line = "";
	
	//document.setBackground(java.awt.Color.RED);
	Page page =document.getPages().add();
	
	PageInfo pageInfo = page.getPageInfo();	
	MarginInfo marginInfo = new MarginInfo();
	marginInfo.setBottom( 70 );
	marginInfo.setTop( 15 );
	marginInfo.setLeft( 15 );
	marginInfo.setRight( 15 );
	pageInfo.setMargin( marginInfo );
	
	Table table = new Table();
	table.setColumnAdjustment(ColumnAdjustment.AutoFitToContent);
	table.setHorizontalAlignment(1);
	
	BorderInfo info = new BorderInfo( BorderSide.All, 1 );		
	info = new BorderInfo( BorderSide.All, Color.getBlack() );
	TextFragment textFragment;
	
	int count = 0;
	while((line=br.readLine()) != null ) {
		String[] rowValues = line.split(",");
		
		Row pdfRow = table.getRows().add();
		for (String rowVal : rowValues) {
			textFragment = new TextFragment(rowVal);
			Font font = FontRepository.openFont("E:\\ExportingFramework\\Font files\\OpenSans-Regular.ttf");
			textFragment.getTextState().setFont(font);
			textFragment.getTextState().setFont(font);
			
			Cell cell = new Cell();
			info = new BorderInfo( BorderSide.All, 1 );
			cell.setBorder( info );

			cell.getParagraphs().add(textFragment);
			pdfRow.getCells().add(cell);
		}
		count++;
		
		if(count >= 10)
			break;
	}
	
	page.getParagraphs().add( table );
	PdfFormatConversionOptions options = new PdfFormatConversionOptions(PdfFormat.PDF_A_1A, ConvertErrorAction.Delete);
	document.convert(options);
	document.save( "E:\\pdfs\\AsposeTests\\PDFA_test.pdf" );
	document.close();
	br.close();
}
