Hi,

In the documentation of function SetPDFAMode PDF/A-1a is missing in the parameter list.

So PDF/A-1a is not supported. Will that be available in the future ?

Kind regards

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

The function starts with 1b.

The oldest standard 1a won't be supported for creation in the future - this should be clear and understandable.

I don't know the differences between 1a an 1b but normally 1b should be compatible with 1a.

So you can do it by your own.

Set PDF/A-1b for your pdf and search in the pdf-content (have a look via Notepad and you'll know what i mean).

You'll find code similar to this:

><pdfaid:part>3</pdfaid:part><pdfaid:conformance>A</pdfaid:conformance><

This example is from PDF/A-3b...

You can read the pdf-content into a stream or string... change the character and the number... and save it back. In case of "1b back to 1a" this shouldn't make a problem?

BTW: SetPDFAMode sets the sign into the file but this doesn't mean to create a pdf/a-compatible pdf-document with a single call. To make the pdf-content "pdf/a-ready" remains your biggest job to do ;-)

Cheers and welcome here,

Ingo
