Hi Kai,
The only reason I brought up the licensing, was in case you wanted to
contribute it into mainstream DSpace. Probably most important to solve your
local needs first. But yeah, I'm thinking a Curation Task that can have
every PDF in your system run through a process to use your third party /
external services to create the PDF/A, which gets added to DSpace. And
then, once you are satisfied that all of your PDF's have been successful,
if you still wanted to delete them, your other curation task could delete
regular PDF's that have a duplicate PDF/A. The rationale for sticking with
the Curation Task approach is that you are using/extending DSpace properly,
rather than just tricking it, by modifying the contents, and checksums.
Lykke til!
