PDF/A-1B Conversion - Fonts and Metadata errors

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Hello,

Here are the errors we get when using the “validate” method after converting a PDF to PDF/A-1B:

<Fonts>
	<Problem Severity="Error" Clause="6.3.5" ObjectID="29" Page="1" Convertable="True">CIDSet is missing or incomplete for font 'RXBGJL+FONT_NAME'</Problem>
	<Problem Severity="Error" Clause="6.3.5" ObjectID="36" Page="1" Convertable="True">CIDSet is missing or incomplete for font 'RXBGJL+FONT_NAME'</Problem>
</Fonts>
<Metadata>
	<Problem Severity="Error" Clause="6.7.3" Convertable="True">Document information entry 'Producer' not synchronized with metadata property 'pdf:Producer'</Problem>
	<Problem Severity="Error" Clause="6.7.3" Convertable="True">Document information entry 'ModDate' not synchronized with metadata property 'xmp:ModifyDate'</Problem>

Here is the code we use for the conversion:

int pdfFormat = PdfFormat.PDF_A_1B;

Document doc = new Document(inputFile);

// Convert to PDF/A compliant document
doc.validate(outputValidationLogFileName, pdfFormat);
doc.convert(outputConversionLogFileName, pdfFormat, ConvertErrorAction.Delete); 

// Save output document
doc.save(outputFile);
doc.close();

Then, for the validation:

Document doc = new Document(outputFile);
boolean compliant = doc.validate(outputValidationLogFileName, PdfFormat.PDF_A_1B);
doc.close();

Please, find in attachment an extract of the PDF we are trying to convert (only 2 pages with amended content for confidentiality).

When trying to convert the full PDF we get additional font errors (similar to the ones above) as well as the following error:

<Problem Severity="Error" Clause="6.7.3" Convertable="True">Document information entry 'Creator' not synchronized with metadata property 'xmp:CreatorTool'</Problem>

We use Aspose.PDF 20.3 (Java).

Could you please advise?

Many thanks,
Romaric
