How to convert a presentation to PDF/A-1 format?

Aspose.Slides Product Family

Hi,



as I see Aspose.Slides.Export.ISaveOptions object used in Aspose.Slides.IPresentation.Save method has no ability to specify a pdf compliance (like Aspose.Words do, that has Aspose.Words.Saving.PdfCompliance.PdfA1b feature).



Is there any ability to convert a presentation to PDF/A-1 format? May be using an Aspose.Pdf?

Hi Aleksey,


I have observed your requirements. I have shared a piece of code this will help you to achieve your requirements.

string path = “F:\Aspose Work\”;

var document = new Presentation(path+“2nd.ppt”);

var saveOptions = new Aspose.Slides.Export.PdfOptions

{

EmbedFullFonts = true,

EmbedTrueTypeFontsForASCII = true,

SaveMetafilesAsPng = true,

TextCompression = Aspose.Slides.Export.PdfTextCompression.None,

Compliance = Aspose.Slides.Export.PdfCompliance.PdfA1b

};

document.Save(path+“ApPdfA1b.pdf”, Aspose.Slides.Export.SaveFormat.Pdf, saveOptions);

Hi Adnan,



thanks for the sample code - it works as needed!



Please clarify the parameters for Export.PdfOptions - is it needed to set 4 extra properties (except Compliance - it is obviously needed) as you do in your sample? What if they are not set - will be the result pdf true PdfA1b?

Hi Aleksey,


I have observed your comments. I like to inform that these lines of code not obviously needed. You can remove those lines.
