Well, you should!  Or at least you should let the producer know they are doing 
it wrong.

(and it's NOT a tip – it's clearly stipulated in the PDF/A standard that what 
is done here is WRONG!)

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately I have no control on how the PDF is 
produced...

Best regards,
Stefan.

I am investigating why Acrobat thinks the file is correct, but Preflight does 
not.

However, in the meantime, I want to point out that this file should NOT be 
marked as PDF/A-1a compliant as it does NOT contain any text NOR is the image 
properly tagged.  It should be PDF/A-1b.

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Sign a PDF/A

Hello,

I am aware of the license restrictions; this is why I am posting this message; 
I need to be sure I can sign PDF/A before purchasing a commercial license.

I am currently using version 5.0.2, but have tried with 5.1.1, too.

Here are the files. Apparently all checks for compliance on the signed file 
show the same errors; on the other hand, I cannot alter in any way the input 
file, so all I can do is tweak the parameters of the signing process, if 
possible.

Best regards,
Stefan.

Which version exactly? (BTW, all the publicly available iText versions are
for free use as long as you adhere to the respective license restrictions.)

Please also supply a sample file, both before signing and after signing,
showing this behavior.

BTW, you checked for PDF/A-1a compliance. Do you get different results when
checking for PDF/A-1b compliance?

Regards,   Michael.
