Hello @asad.ali ,

Without an answer from you, I allow myself to revive the subject once again. The topic is open since February 21 and still unanswered and solution provided

@Murphy54

Sadly, the ticket is not yet resolved. Please note that we already had escalated the ticket prirority to higher level despite being logged under normal support. However, the feature is complex in nature and needs significant amount of time in order to get implemented. We surely intend to provide functionality you are looking for however, we need some time and your cooperation in this matter.

We are sorry for the delay and inconvenience.

@asad.ali

Hi !
Any news about this problem ?

@Murphy54

The investigation is still underway against the earlier logged ticket. As shared earlier, the feature is complex in nature and needs more time to get fully investigated for its feasibility. We will inform you as soon as some updates are available regarding the resolution of ticket. We highly appreciate your cooperation in this matter. Please give us some time.

We apologize for the delay and inconvenience.

Any news 2 months later ?

@Murphy54

We are afraid that the logged ticket is not yet resolved. The requested feature is still being investigated parallel to other tasks and improvements to the API, hence its taking time. We have already recorded your concerns and escalated the issue priority to next level. We will try to complete the analysis as soon as possible and share an ETA with you. We highly appreciate your cooperation.

We are sorry for the delay and inconvenience.

@Murphy54

Hello, I update my Aspose library to 21.1.0 version and still having this issue. Now I am able to set the AFRelationship in code but the converted PDF is not passing the facture-x validators anyway

Here is a console application to demonstrate this issue, it convert a PDF to a PDF/A-3 with the facture-x standards.
