Hi Kai,
The only reason I brought up the licensing, was in case you wanted to
contribute it into mainstream DSpace. Probably most important to solve your
local needs first. But yeah, I'm thinking a Curation Task that can have
every PDF in your system run through a process to use your third party /
Hi
Thanks, I will look into curating tasks. We're still quite early in the
process, but we do have two different systems already that makes valid
PDF/A's. One is called Pixedit which is a third party tool and the
second one is a webservice we've built ourselves, but I'm unsure what
tool/librar
Hi
We're quite early in the process of deciding what to do, and I'm aware
that doing in place conversions is not optimal, we do have daily backups
and if we do come up with something that can do these reconversions
we'll probably work on a copy of the assetstore. I agree that having the

In my case, I used Acrobat 8 preflight. Although it was producing
output without complaints and it wrote the PDF/A tag into the file,
when I ran a PDF/A verification on the output, it simply wasn't valid
PDF/A in a crushing majority of cases. YMMV.

And add the needed metadata to document the change, at least add some

I wouldn't recommend altering/damaging your existing PDF's. That just
sounds like its inviting risk.
A better route would be to build a DSpace curation task, that is capable of
doing the automated PDF conversion, leaving the old PDF's in the ORIGINAL
bundle, and the PDF/A's going into a bundle suc
I forgot - you'd also need to update the "size_bytes" column.

Hi Kai,
first of all, you should reconsider your intention to do automatic
conversion to PDF/A. What is the ratio of successfull conversions on your
sample? When I tried it with our ETDs, even though the conversion reported
no errors, less than 5% of the resulting PDFs were valid PDF/A. I tried 2
Hi, is it possible to reconvert PDF-documents that are already in the
assetstore to the PDF/A format in place? We would use a third party tool
to convert all of our PDF-documents stored in dspace to PDF/A's to
better be in compliance with national archive rules. Is this possible to
do in dspace
