@Hans:
I'll look into it. Give me some days to read the documentation (not that
much anyway) and to play around with it.
All the "new" features are already implemented as building blocks for
the PDF/X variants, so I guess it's mostly just adding some new table
entries ('b|u' variants). Attachments seem to need several extra PDF
entries. Will report back to you and Luigi.
@Luigi: mh, that really looks like a lot of fun

@Pablo, Rik:
We can put you in cc if you volunteer for testing. Just say aye :D

Rik, I have just discovered that the line 97 in lpdf-tag.lua contains: local embeddedfilelist= pdfarray() -- /AF But that "embeddedfilelist" is only used in commented lines (168 and 277). I’m afraid that the /AF array needs to be an entry in the /Catalog dictionary. Right now, it would be implemented included in the /MarkInfo dictionary. Hans, I wonder whether this could be implemented.

BTW, attachments don’t need to be PDF/A-3 documents, even if they are PDF documents (afaIk). Attachments in PDF/A-3 need to be related (as an array) to the document with the /AF key. I already reported this and I think that the most sensible value is to relate them to the document. That would mean to include the /AF key in the /Catalog dictionary. I think this would be the easiest way to implement and to use it. Just in case it helps, Pablo PS: there is another issue with annotations (reported with other issues already solved at https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/dev-context/2019/003558.html). -- http://www.ousia.tk ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

I remember adding the "a-2a" and "a-3a" versions back when Hans and I
added experimental support for "PDF/UA-1" (which is based on "PDF/A-3a",
but much more limited). This all lies back a few years, can't remember
the details.
So we have only basic support for "PDF/A-3a", the more advanced features
of that format are not supported yet. The main problem here is the
lacking PDF/A documentation (ISO pay wall). I guess there is currently
no real reason to use that format at all (?).

Re: [NTG-context] PDF/A-3a attachment support query
Hi Rik,
I guess it's not supported yet.
In "lpdf-fmt.lua" it says:
[..]
["pdf/a-3a"] = { -- untested; NEW: any type of attachment is allowed
[..]
I remember adding the "a-2a" and "a-3a" versions back when Hans and I
added experimental support for "PDF/UA-1" (which is based on "PDF/A-3a",
but much more limited). This all lies back a few years, can't remember
the details.
So we have only basic support for "PDF/A-3a", the more advanced features
of that format are not supported yet. The main problem here is the
lacking PDF/A documentation (ISO pay wall). I guess there is currently
no real reason to use that format at all (?).
Best wishes,
Peter

[NTG-context] PDF/A-3a attachment support query
Hello list,
The following document fails PDF/A-3a validation. It passes without the
attachment.
\setuplanguage [en]
\setuptagging [state=start]
\setupinteraction [state=start]
\setupbackend [format={pdf/a-3a},profile={default_gray.icc},
intent={ISO coated v2 300\letterpercent\space
(ECI)}]
\setupstructure [state=start,method=auto]
\setupcolors [pagecolormodel=auto,start=yes,rgb=no,cmyk=no]
\setupbodyfont [Palatino,10pt]
\starttext
Attaching a plain text file.
% \attachment [file=test.tex,
% type={text/plain;charset=UTF-8}]
% The \ConTeXt\ source code for this document is attached here.
\attachment [file=testa.pdf,
type={application/pdf}]
A successfully validated pdf/a-3a file is attached here.
\stoptext
pdf-online reports:
Validating file "test.pdf" for conformance level pdfa-3a
The key F is required but missing.
The appearance dictionary doesn't contain an entry.
File specification 'testa.pdf' not associated with an object.
The document does not conform to the requested standard.
The document doesn't conform to the PDF reference (missing required
entries, wrong value types, etc.).
The document contains hidden, invisible, non-viewable or
non-printable annotations.
The document contains annotations or form fields with ambigous or
without appropriate appearances.
The document does not conform to the PDF/A-3a standard.
Done.
My understanding is that 3-a should support both pdf and non-pdf
attachments. This fails in a similar manner with both pdf/a-3a-validated
files and with plain text files. I also tested with verapdf, and it also
rejected the document with an attachment.
Is this my error, or is it not yet supported?
