Hello folks,

I need to generate PDF documents that complies the PDF/X3 standard.

One of the requirements to do so is to add information about the overfilling state of the document.

This info should bve foud somewhere in the information header of the document as

"/Trapped /False" (or "/Trapped /True", of course).

I found the method ".SetCustomInformation("Trapped", "False");" generating the result "/Trapped (False)", which is rejected by the X3 compatibily check of Adobe's preflight tool.

How can I manage to add this information as required?

Cheers,

Martin

Hi Martin,

QuickPDF actually doesn't support PDF/X3-standard.

PDF/A is support since a little time - the other new standards like ZUGFeRD, PDF/E, PDF/UA or PDF/VT for example not.

SetCustomInformation is (like the description tells) for ANY custom/additional information. With the information stored in this field no standard will be supported.

Hello Ingo,

thx 4 ur reply.

I don't know if I asked the right question, so let me ask it again (in a little bit different way, of course):

calling the method SetCustomInformation("key", "value") generates the entry "key(value)" in the target PDF.

I need to create an entry in the format "/key /value", because ether the entry "/Trapped /True" or "/Trapped /False" is one of the Requirements that a PDF file must fulfill in order to comply the PDF/X3 norm.

Is there any posibility to create entries in the required format?

Regards,

Martin

Hi Martin,

my answer will be the same ... sorry ;-)
What i'm doing in similar cases is:
Take few relevant samples and have a look directly inside the code with a normal editor...
Where and in which combination the relevant syntax is existing...
Try to insert your code manually (by program) after pdf-creation...
and hope that it's working ;-)
