Hello Robert

Thank you very much for replying to my message, I did another search and
found a command line that converts the PDF file to PDF / A, I'm sure you
should have already found it, this is ghostscript, with this command
line: gs -dPDFA -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dUseCIEColor -sProcessColorModel =
DeviceCMYK -sDEVICE = pdfwrite -sPDFACompatibilityPolicy = 1
-sOutputFile = output_filename.pdf input_filename.pdf.

Again, thank you very much for the response.

Title:
  Generate PDF/A compliant documents

Status in Simple Scan:
  Triaged
Status in simple-scan package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  PDF/A [1] is a standard for PDF documents to make them suitable for 
archiving. The PDF files that simple-scan produces are PDF compliant, but 
missing some optional fields that are required for PDF/A.

  [Test Case]
  1. Scan a document
  2. Save to a PDF file
  3. Check document through a PDF validator (e.g. [2])

  Expected result:
  The generated document is compliant with PDF/A

  Observed result:
  The document is not compliant.

  [Regression potential]
  Some risk of PDF changes making files saved from Simple Scan not viewable in 
a PDF reader. This seems very low as PDF/A is a very commonly used standard.
