To convert a PDF to PDF/A compliant format using the Aspose Java SDK, follow these steps to ensure compliance:

  1. Cause: Before conversion, it’s essential to validate the PDF document to identify any compliance issues that may prevent successful conversion.

  2. Solution: Use the validate method to generate a validation report. If the document is valid, proceed to convert it using the convert method, specifying the desired PDF/A format (e.g., PDF/A-1b, PDF/A-3b) and how to handle any elements that cannot be converted with the ConvertErrorAction enumeration.

Here’s a sample code snippet to illustrate the process:

// Open the PDF document
Document document = new Document("path/to/your/input.pdf");

// Validate the PDF for PDF/A compliance
boolean isValid = document.validate("path/to/validation-result.xml", PdfFormat.PDF_A_1B);
if (!isValid) {
    System.out.println("The document is not valid for PDF/A-1B.");
} else {
    // Convert to PDF/A-1b compliant document
    document.convert("path/to/log.xml", PdfFormat.PDF_A_1B, ConvertErrorAction.Delete);
    
    // Save the output document
    document.save("path/to/output_PDFA.pdf");
}

document.close();

Make sure to replace the paths with your actual file locations. This code will validate the PDF and convert it to PDF/A-1b, deleting any elements that cannot be converted.

  1. Next Steps: If you encounter specific errors during validation, please share those details for further troubleshooting.
