Davide Silvestri updated PDFBOX-3256:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Trailer Validation error PDF/A1-b (was: Trailer Validation
error)
> Trailer Validation error PDF/A1-b
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-3256
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3256
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Preflight
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Davide Silvestri
>
> According to PDF specifications "File identifiers are defined by the optional
> ID entry in a PDF file’s trailer dictionary (see Section 3.4.4, “File
> Trailer”; see also implementation note 162 in Appendix H). The value of this
> entry is an array of two byte strings. The first byte string is a permanent
> identifier based on the contents of the file at the time it was originally
> created and does not change when the file is incrementally updated. The
> second byte string is a changing identifier based on the file’s contents at
> the time it was last updated."
> We are having a problem validating a PDF/A1-b when preflight checks first and
> last trailer. TrailerValidationProcess.java compares IDs in the compareIds
> function checking that both values remain the same in the first and last
> trailer, not only the first byte. It checks both the first byte AND the
> second byte into the cycle (line 206). Being the second byte a changing item
> when the file is updated (eg. with a digital signature), we have this error
> in validation "1.4.6.: Trailer Syntax error, ID is different in the first and
> the last trailer" even if the first item remains the same and so the PDF/A1-b
> compliance should be verified.
> Please can you help me with this issue?
> Thank you very much.
