As Michael said, I said PDF validation - which checks compliance with ISO
32000-1:2008 (the PDF Standard). That is VERY DIFFERENT than doing PDF/A (ISO
19005-1 or 19005-2) validation or PDF/X (ISO 15930-1, though 15930-8)
validation. Each is a separate standard with different requirements, etc.

string was not in a correct format" when parsing this file
Hello Michael
I was simply performing the validation checking that Leonard suggested ... and
I only used Adobe Reader to find some PDFs from Adobe to validate.
I am not embarking on an Itext, PDF or Adobe bashing exercise here, I was just
curious as to why Itext wouldn't/didn't convert the 'PDF' file I was originally
working on ...
Regards
Richard
