Problem to generate pdf file PDF/A compliant

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hello everybody,
this forum is very interesting and I found a lot of answers to my questions.
However, I've got 2 more questions.
My aim is to build a pdf file pdf/A compliant (at least PDF/A-1b, but PDF/A-1a should be better).
How can I set the output intents entry ?
I am also rebuilding a pdf from a none PDF/A compliant pdf file. The pdf source file contains declared Standards Fonts (Helvetica, for example). Even if I add those fonts (Helvetica) thanks to the AddTrueTypeFont function, the pdf/A file checker detects that they are not embedded. In order to verify this information, I fetched all the fonts of the documents and I found Fonts with a FontType set to 4 (embedded, good) and some with the FontType set to 2 (Standard, Bad ). By so doing, Helvetica is declared as Embedded font AND as Standard Font. How can I switch the typeFont from 2 to 4, or how can I delete a standard Font ?
Thanks in advance for all your response

Yosh

	Hi Yosh! QuickPDF doesn't offer support for PDF/A... QuickPDF offers a lot of functions making a PDF/A-document from a pdf-document ;-) First you should have a look at any whitepapers to know all about the PDF/A-specifications. About fonts perhaps here's another one who can answer... Best regards and welcome! Ingo

	Hi Ingo, Thank you for your fast answer. I know that quickPDF offers no support for PDF/A, but I'm studying if I could use it to make pdf/A files. The response seems to be "Yes", but the problem of setting the output color intent and the possibility of "deleting" a standard font are blocking for me. I will wait anybody who could help me on the font problem and on the output color intent problem... Thank you again, Ingo

	Hello, well, nobody's able to answer me ? I cannot beleive that nobody have encountered that problematic before. How can I explicitly define the output color intent ? How can I "delete" standard fonts or embed them in the document ?
