------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Dec 21 10:30:57 -0800 2005 ------- As we all know, PDF is a document standard provided by Adobe. However, there are several versions of PDF and options in PDF which might compromise its quality as an archive. For that reason, ISO 19005-1 (PDF itself is NOT an ISO standard) has been created and guarantees that the document will still be readable in the future. This is important for documents such as PhD thesis, scientific papers etc. The official abstract is "ISO 19005-1:2005 specifies how to use the Portable Document Format (PDF) 1.4 for long-term preservation of electronic documents. It is applicable to documents containing combinations of character, raster and vector data." Key issues of PDF/A are that fonts have to be embedded, audio, video and JavaScript are not allowed and PDF 1.4 has to be used. It should be possible to ensure that every PDF document produced by OOo complies to ISO 19005-1. Otherwise the user should be able to chose PDF/A compliance by a checkbox. Remark: there is another ISO standard for PDF: ISO 15930 (PDF/X) for printing purposes. I don't see the need to support that standard, but other users may open an issue for it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
