Minimum Aspose.Words version to create PDF/UA

Hi, we’re currently using version 15.4 of Aspose.Words for .NET. I’m looking for docs which values the PdfCompliance enum ( PdfCompliance Enum | Aspose.Words for .NET) can take in this special version. Are PdfUA 1 / PdfUA2 already available or do we have to upgrade? (Sorry didn’t find that info on the website. A link to docs is more than welcome!)

To create PDF/UA compliant documents using Aspose.Words, you need to be aware of the version of the library you are using. As of your current version, 15.4, PDF/UA compliance is not supported. The support for PDF/UA was introduced in later versions of Aspose.Words.

To utilize the PDF/UA compliance features, you will need to upgrade to a more recent version of Aspose.Words. The library now supports various PDF standards, including PDF/A-1, PDF/A-2, PDF/A-4, and PDF/UA-1. The compliance level can be specified using the PdfSaveOptions.Compliance property when saving documents to PDF format.

For detailed information on the PdfCompliance enum and its values, you can refer to the official documentation here.

If you are considering an upgrade, I recommend checking the release notes for the versions after 15.4 to see the specific enhancements and features related to PDF/UA compliance.
