Issue converting PDF to PDF/A_2B

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hello,

I have an error when i’m trying to convert a PDF file to format PDF/A_2B, with library com.aspose:aspose-pdf:23.7.

The original file seems compliant with an online tool like “https://avepdf.com/pdfa-validation”. But, when i’m trying to validate it through API :

pdfSource.validate(generatedValidationPath, PdfFormat.PDF_A_2B)

The result is ‘false’ (validation log is attached)

I’m still trying to convert the file after that, but it crashes, with following error :

java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 8
at java.base/java.lang.StringLatin1.charAt(StringLatin1.java:47)
at java.base/java.lang.String.charAt(String.java:693)

But the final PDF is still generated… with a null size (i cannot open it with Adobe). And a conversion log file is generated too (attached in the zip as well).

Can you please try using 24.4 version of the API and if issue still persists, please share your sample source and output PDF documents for our reference so that we can test the scenario in our environment and address it accordingly.

Hello @asad.ali

Thanks for your quick answer.
The conversion doesn’t work neither with 24.4 Aspose PDF library.
Here is attached the sample (original pdf file + groovy script).
