Thanks for the reference.  That site is very useful.
Other sites that may assist others are:
a) www.soliddocuments.com They provide a FREE pdf print driver that writes PDF/A 1b formats.  They also sell for <100.00 Solid PDF Tools that does many things including: scan interface, create searchable PDF/A 1b from Tif, Convert "in batch" PDF to PDF/A, Convert PDF to Word, etc.
Note: the processes can be scripted.
b) www.luratech.com They provide a FREE tool that perfomr PDF/A validation.

Thank you for your input.  I hope to gather such valuable information in this thread before I turn the project over to my developers.

Hi,

   I think what you are suggesting is quite feasible from what I recall about this format (it's been a while). Part of the challenge is to ensure the legality of the fonts to be embedded, but since you are using a TIFF, you might be OK. The only other things to consider are to ensure the metadata is preperly failed and that the PDF/A tag is properly set - which the QuickPDF library does not do today.

   Or you could use Ghostscript which does support PDF/A.

   Therefore, you would need to try to find a programmer willing to make the necessary code changes.

   Cheers!

Has anyone attempted to create compatible PDF/A spec 1b files using QuickPDF?
If so, please share your information in this thread.
If not, but you have interest in doing so, please respond to this thread.
 
My goal would be to create a PDF/A spec 1b document from a scanned tif file (300 dpi, B/W, Group III or Group IV compression).   This would be part of a "batch" process that captures and indexes the files using my software (www.captureplusdms.com).   QuickPDF is currently used in the software in the Convert to PDF component.  I would like to try to add a PDF/A 1b option.
