PDF/A compliance lost after adding dokument bookmark

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hello!

I convert documents zu PDF/A (using Aspose.Words), and after the conversion bookmarks are added to the pdf (with Aspose.PDF). This worked as expected so far.
Now I wanted to change the PDF compliance to PDF/A-2A and now I see, that adding bookmarks results in losing the pdf compliance.

Whats is the difference here between PDF/A-1A and PDF/A-2A and what can be done to fix this issue?
Input and output files are here: pdfABookmark.zip (330.5 KB)

Kind regards

As the conversion is part of a complex use case, where different types of documents in a zip file are converted into one pdf document, I left out irrelevant parts of the code and set up a minimalistic code exampe, with which I can reproduce the issue:

// Aspose.Words Conversion
com.aspose.words.Document word = new com.aspose.words.Document(bis, new LoadOptions());

PdfSaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
saveOptions.setCompliance(PdfCompliance.PDF_A_2_A);

ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
word.save(stream, saveOptions);

// Aspose.PDF sets Bookmark
com.aspose.pdf.Document pdf = new com.aspose.pdf.Document(new ByteArrayInputStream(stream.toByteArray()))
pdf.getOutlines().clear();

OutlineItemCollection pdfOutline = new OutlineItemCollection(pdf.getOutlines())
pdfOutline.setTitle(“test”);
pdfOutline.setDestination(new GoToAction(pdf.getPages().get_Item(1)));
pdf.getOutlines().add(pdfOutline);
pdf.save(stream, new PdfSaveOptions());
