Hi,
We have found a minor issue with iText 2.1.7 but it may be also applied to
version 5.
After trying to validate PDF/A documents with Callas software the following
messages are displayed.
The command and the output are:
./pdfaPilot --noprogress -a -l=1a /tmp/test.pdf
Input /tmp/test.pdf
Hit PDFA Structured PDF: Type entry missing
Hit PDFA Structured PDF: Type entry in a structure element not
"StructElem"
Summary 2 Errors
[...]
Looking at ISO 19005-1:2005 spec, chapter "6.8.3.3 Structure hierarchy":
[...]
"Each structure element dictionary in the structure hierarchy shall have a
Type entry with the name value of
StructElem."
[...]
It can be easily fixed adding two lines to PdfStructureElement.java:
public PdfStructureElement(PdfStructureElement parent, PdfName
structureType) {
top = parent.top;
init(parent, structureType);
this.parent = parent;
put(PdfName.P, parent.reference);
//NEW LINE ADDED
put(PdfName.TYPE,new PdfName("StructElem"));
}
....
public PdfStructureElement(PdfStructureTreeRoot parent, PdfName
structureType) {
top = parent;
init(parent, structureType);
put(PdfName.P, parent.getReference());
//NEW LINE ADDED
put(PdfName.TYPE,new PdfName("StructElem"));
}
Hope this helps
Jose
