That's indeed a short explanation of PDF/X and PDF/A. Note that there are different subtypes of PDF/X and different levels of PDF/A (with or without tagging). > For PDF/A there is the metadata that is added, but is there any specific > metadata we are supposed to add Yes. > or is what is added up to each > individual?

Basically you can create any tagged PDF with iText (everything that is defined in the PDF Reference), but it's not automated and that makes it very hard (see the example that comes with the book). -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php
