If you are trying to write a PDF/A validator using iText - let alone one that
also corrects - you have a HUGE AMOUNT of work ahead of you. Things such as
actions are trivial compared to the work you are going to have to do for
colors, fonts and metadata...

Hi,
i have to check existing pdfs and if certain values does exist i have to remove
them.
The goal is to make them ISO PDF/A compatible.
As defined in the ISO 19005 standard:
"The Launch, Sound, Movie, ResetForm, ImportData and JavaScript actions shall
not be permitted."
And since "out there" some pdfs may still exist using Sound, Movie etc. i have
to check for it and remove it accordingly.
Or is there another way to detect which pdf objects are in violation of the
PDF/A standard (with iText)?
(I know that PDF/A compliance is more than removing action elements and
javascript but it is one step in the process...)
Thanks

Sound and Movie, while supported, have been superseeded with other alternatives
in later versions of PDF.
Thread, while still valid, isn't used very much...
What are you planning to do with these?

Hi,
i am missing the following 'action types' which are defined in the pdf spec:
- Thread - Begin reading an article thread.
- Sound - (PDF 1.2) Play a sound.
- Movie - (PDF 1.2) Play a movie.
Have those been forgotten?
Thanks
