I am using the Android SDK for Debenu.

I have a PDF which is PDF/A compliant. I wrote some text on it using the following function:

FlatAPI1115.DPLDrawTextA(mDQPL, 50, 50,"DEBENU WRITING TEST");

Though the text appeared as expected but the PDF was no longer PDF/A compliant. Is there a way, that we can save it as PDF/A, after such edits

Hi Ludwig,

i think it depends on which font you're using to write in the pdf.

As far as i know all used fonts should be embedded in the pdf to make it PDF/A-compliant.

Thanks, But even if I simple open the file using:

FlatAPI1115.DPLDAOpenFileA(instanceId, sourcePdf.getAbsolutePath(), "");

and then just save it at a different location, the file looses its PDF/A compliance.

FlatAPI1115.DPLSaveToFileA(instanceId , "newPdfPath.pdf");

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Ludwig,

"PDF/A" means to handle the product a bit like an archive. It's made and locked for reading in the future. NOT for editing. LoadFromFile means "open for editing" and save COULD be to save a modified document. As a result PDF/A is removed and it doesn't matter what you've really done or not.

Try DAOpenFileReadOnly i (don't know but i) think this should help for loosing PDF/A-compliance.
