Validation of pdf/a-1b

Hi I work in a firm named Gecko, and we use ASPOSE to convert almost every type of files to pdf/a. My test of you PDF/A-1b format shows me that this is not validated correctly. I have used to application to validated the files, but both tell me it not correct. Can you test your converted files with this: http://www.pdf-tools.com/pdf/validate-pdfa-online.aspx

Best regards

Hi Silje,

Can you please elaborate if you directly convert to PDF/A-1b using individual APIs or first convert to PDF using individual APIs and then use Aspose.Pdf to convert to PDF/A-1b format?

Best Regards,

hi,

I am also working with Silje in Gecko as a programmer we follwed the following steps

1) We convert the document to PDF

// Converting word document to PDF
private void ConvertWordToPdf(string fileToconvert, string destination, DocumentType doctType)
{
SetWordLicense(doctType);
var doc = new Aspose.Words.Document(fileToconvert);
doc.Save(destination);
}

2) Convert the generated pdf to pdf/A

private void ConvertPdfToPdfa(string fileToConvert, string destination, DocumentType doctType)
{
SetLicense(doctType);
var pdfADoc = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(fileToConvert);
pdfADoc.Convert(“log.xml”, PdfFormat.PDF_A_1B, ConvertErrorAction.Delete);
pdfADoc.Save(destination);
}

Hi Srikant,


Thanks for sharing the resource file.

I have tested the scenario using Aspose.Pdf for .NET 10.5.0 in Visual Studio 2012 with .NET Framework 4.0 running over Windows 7 (x64) and I am unable to notice any issue when verifying the PDF/A compliance in Adobe Acrobat. During my testing, I have also tried viewing the document in Foxit Phantom and it shows that resultant file is PDF/A1_b compliance.

Please note that PDF files generated by Aspose.Pdf for .NET are based on Adobe PDF specifications and there might be some issues while validating the document through third party tools/applications as they have their own validation standards.

For your reference, I have also attached the resultant file generated over my end.
