Problem concatenating PDF/A files

Post by lp »

Hello
I'm experiencing a strange behaviour: I have to create some PDF that has to be a valid PDF/A file.
A single file gets created correctly and is valid.
Then another one is printed and gets concatenated to the first one.
Here I find the trouble: the resulting file is invalid, as far as PDF/A validation is concerned.

The result from preflight validation (Acrobat Pro 9) is:
Profile: Verify compliance with PDF/A-1b (Processed pages 1 to 2)
Error
CIDset in subset font missing (75 matches on 2 pages)
Creation date mismatch between Document Info and XMP Metadata
Creator mismatch between Document Info and XMP Metadata
Last Modification Date mismatch between Document Info and XMP Metadata
Metadata missing (XMP)
PDF/A entry missing
Producer mismatch between Document Info and XMP Metadata
Syntax problem: Stream dictionary improperly formatted
Title mismatch between Document Info and XMP Metadata
I'm usign latest 3.0.3 drivers

My settings were:
SetFileNameOptions(hPrn,0x80000097)
SetImageOptions(hPrn,0x00000033)

Is it a known problem? What can I try to work around it?
Thanks in advance!

Hello

When concatenating documents, the resulting document will not be PDF/A. You will need to use the document object of cdintf to open and save it as PDF/A

e.g.

Dim doc1 As New CDIntfEx.Document
doc1.SetLicenseKey strLicensTo, strActivationCodeDemo

'Open pdf file
doc1.Open "D:\temp\myfile.pdf"

'save as pdf/a
doc1.SaveEx "D:\TEMP\myfile_pdfa.pdf", acFileSavePDFA


Hope that helps?

I've read about version 3.50...

Can you please give us an idea of future releases and (rough) timeframe ?

PDF/A compliance and digital sign are growing in importance.

P.S. any news about dgital sign from smart-card (passing PIN, etc) ?
