PDFA1A Read Out Issue

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hello,

We are trying to evaluate ASPOSE PDF.NET library to see if meets our need. We were successfully able to download and get the PDF generation working. Setting PdfConformance PDFA1B the document reads out fine(from View-> Read Out loud in Acrobat. But this is lost when PdfConformance is set to PDFA1A. We need the PDF to be tagged and read out loud. Is this possible? Please see our code below…

Thanks,
Swetha


WebUrl = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.ToString();
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(WebUrl);
request.Timeout = 10000; // 10 secs
HttpWebResponse localWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
Encoding encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(1252);
StreamReader localResponseStream = new StreamReader(localWebResponse.GetResponseStream());

HttpResponse response = HttpContext.Current.Response;

response.Clear();
response.ClearHeaders();
response.ContentType = “application/pdf”;

// Instantiate an object PDF class
Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Pdf pdf = new Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Pdf();
//Add these two lines to Speed up the conversion
pdf.IsTruetypeFontMapCached = true;
pdf.TruetypeFontMapPath = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath();
pdf.Conformance = Aspose.Pdf.Generator.PdfConformance.PdfA1A;
pdf.Author = “ME”;
pdf.Creator = “POC Project”;

Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Section section = pdf.Sections.Add();
Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Text text2 = new Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Text(section, localResponseStream.ReadToEnd());
text2.IsHtmlTagSupported = true;
section.Paragraphs.Add(text2);


//Save the pdf document
pdf.Save(“sample.pdf”, SaveType.OpenInBrowser , response);

response.End();

localWebResponse.Close();

Hello Nausherwan Aslam,

I have the latest one. I re-downloaded from the link you sent and grabbed the latest DLL. Please find attached a PDF that was generated. I used this URL “http://dealsea.com/view-deal/60382”.

When you try to read out loud the page - it says warning empty page. When u tab into a text it says blank…

Is there something I am missing?

I appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Swetha
