Hi;
Is setConformance() in iText 5 only? We're on iText 2 and I can't find it
anywhere. We do use iText to create the PDF so we should be ok on that part.
Thanks - dave

If you are creating the PDF ENTIRELY with iText - then you can just use the
setConformance() API and it will take care of the details for you. If you are
starting with an existing PDF - then there aren't any options for iText at this
time.
But that will ONLY get you PDF/A-1b.
PDF/A-1a requires that you properly structure & tag your content - something
that iText will not (currently) do for you. So you will need to do all that
work yourself if you want full conformance.
And then there's PDF/A-2, which iText doesn't currently support either - but
most folks aren't there just yet...

I didn't know about pre-flight, that's cool.
Ok, ran my iText generated document through it and got the following:
* Convert to PDF/A-1a (sRGB)
* Convert to PDF/A-1b (sRGB)
I then double clicked on "Verify compliance with PDF/A-1a" and got a lot:
* Author mismatch between Document Info and XMP Metadata
* CIDset in subset font missing (238 matches on 4 pages)
* Creation date mismatch between Document Info and XMP Metadata
* Device process color used but no PDF/A OutputIntent (253 matches on 4
pages)
* Last Modification Date mismatch between Document Info and XMP Metadata
* MarkInfo missing
* Metadata missing (XMP)
* PDF/A entry missing
* Producer mismatch between Document Info and XMP Metadata
* Structured PDF: Structure tree root entry missing
The biggies seem to be the CIDset for the fonts and colors stored correctly.
I'm guessing this is not a simple couple of hours to add in.
Is there a setting in iText to set these values or does this require a 3rd
party app?
Thanks - dave

Careful with that phrase as it's led to misunderstanding by non-technical
people.
What you really mean to say is "no externally referenced resources/assets".

1. That depends which PDF/A you mean:
PDF/A-1a or PDF/A-1b or PDF/A-2?
2. Even if you take the simplest PDF/A-1b there is lots of stuff to consider.
Best you read the PDF/A spec. (ISO 19005-1:2005 or ISO 19005-2:2011) No
javascript, no external referencing, colors etc etc.
3. What probably acrobat is looking at is the PDF/A tag in the meta
information. Probably if you set that one acrobat will say its PDF/A. A better
check is the PDF/A preflight check acrobat professional is offering. It shows
you which part of the spec you are missing. If all tests pass then you probably
have a 95% compliant PDF/A document.

I thought it was just embedding fonts but when we do that Acrobat says it is
not PDF/A.
