Just to be clearer I attach below the code I'm trying now with XMLWorkerHelper
ByteArrayOutputStream pdfOut = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); Document document = new Document(); PdfWriter vPDFWriter; if (aPDF_A) { vPDFWriter = PdfAWriter.getInstance(document, pdfOut, PdfAConformanceLevel.PDF_A_1A); vPDFWriter.setPdfVersion(PdfAWriter.PDF_VERSION_1_4); vPDFWriter.createXmpMetadata(); vPDFWriter.setTagged(); vPDFWriter.getExtraCatalog().put(PdfName.LANG, new PdfString("it")); vPDFWriter.getExtraCatalog().put(PdfName.MARKINFO, new PdfBoolean(true)); } else {........ } InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(TESTO.getBytes()); document.open(); try {XMLWorkerHelper.getInstance().parseXHtml(vPDFWriter, document, is);} catch (Exception vExc) {vExc.printStackTrace();} document.close(); vPDFWriter.close(); return pdfOut; Follows the Exception Stacktrace com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfAConformanceException: All the fonts must be embedded. This one isn't: Helvetica at com.itextpdf.text.pdf.internal.PdfAConformanceImp.checkPdfAConformance(PdfAConformanceImp.java:90) at com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfAWriter.checkPdfIsoConformance(PdfAWriter.java:204) at com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter.checkPdfIsoConformance(PdfWriter.java:3267) at com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter.addSimple(PdfWriter.java:2200) at com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfContentByte.setFontAndSize(PdfContentByte.java:1585) at com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfDocument.writeLineToContent(PdfDocument.java:1482) at com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfDocument.flushLines(PdfDocument.java:1217) at com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfDocument.newPage(PdfDocument.java:836) at com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfDocument.close(PdfDocument.java:760) at com.itextpdf.text.Document.close(Document.java:398) at it.consoft.MotoreUtil.newMethod(MotoreUtil.java:104) at it.consoft.MotoreUtil.main(MotoreUtil.java:60) Dott.ssa Fulvia Grignaschi -----Messaggio originale----- Da: iText Info [mailto:i...@1t3xt.info] Inviato: giovedì 12 giugno 2014 10.36 A: itext-questions@lists.sourceforge.net Oggetto: Re: [iText-questions] I'm subscribed! please do not thrash this message. 1. Which version of iText are you using? Only the latest versions have good PDF/A support. You need the itext-xtra jar and you need the PdfAWriter class. 2. You're using HTMLWorker This class has been abandoned in favor of XML Worker: http://itextpdf.com/sandbox/xmlworker 3. I don't see you creating a FontProvider instance anywhere. Please start studying PdfAWriter and XML Worker. Then return to the mailing-list if you have further questions.
