Hi list,
I have a question about the PDF/A-1a compliancy of the PDF that FOP produces.
We produce PDF/A-1a compliant PDF for a customer of us. But I think there is a
problem with the tagging of tables.
When PDF/A-1a is selected the PDF version needs to be 1.4 according to the
documentation.
But the renderer tries to output THead TBody and TFoot tags in the PDF for the
appropriate table elements.
Only the PDF 1.4 does not support THead, TBody and TFoot tags and when the
PDF/A-1a compliancy is being tested, the three tags are being reported as
failures.
Is this a bug?
Best regards,
Peder

Hi-
First, I am relatively new to the list and would like to thank all
involved for their work. Apache FOP is a valuable and useful tool and I
appreciate everyone's efforts.
Using version 1.0, I was able to work around the problems I encountered
generating PDF/A-1a compliant documents but wanted to report them here
in case they might be of some help. To get around the problem with
tables, as described in the original post, I modified my XSL to use
list-blocks instead. The other significant problem was with metadata.
Apparently, PDF/A-1a requires the more complex forms of the metadata
elements which I was unable to generate with the FOUserAgent methods.
As a workaround, I inserted the following into the XSL input stream:
<fo:declarations>
<x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/">
<rdf:RDF
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";>
<rdf:Description rdf:about="">
<dc:title>
<rdf:Alt>
<rdf:li xml:lang="x-default">
/* my title here */
</rdf:li>
</rdf:Alt>
</dc:title>
<dc:creator>
<rdf:Seq>
<rdf:li>
/* my author here */
</rdf:li>
</rdf:Seq>
</dc:creator>
<dc:description>
<rdf:Alt>
<rdf:li xml:lang="x-default">
/* my description here */
</rdf:li>
</rdf:Alt>
</dc:description>
<dc:date>
<rdf:Seq>
<rdf:li></rdf:li>
</rdf:Seq>
</dc:date>
</rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>
</x:xmpmeta>
</fo:declarations>
I WAS able to use FOUserAgent.setCreationDate() successfully but the
<dc:date> element above was required to make the document compliant.
Setting the other values with FOUserAgent methods resulted non-compliant
documents with or without the XML above.
Thanks again for the excellent work.
