Bug ID: 106651
Summary: PDF/A fails validation using Solid Documents
(something to do with not mapping to Unicode)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.4.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Printing and PDF export
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: jim.av...@gmail.com
Description:
Writer docs exported to PDF/A fail the free validation test at
www.validatepdfa.com, which appears to use the validation software sold by
Solid Documents.
(this may very well be an error in their validation tests, but somebody who
knows this stuff may want to check that it isn'a a bona-fide LO bug)
The errors all seem to have something to do with font names being not
representable in Unicode. This seem a bit unlikely to me :-) but the error
messages are
"The font 'EAAAAA+ArialMT' violates a condition to be mapped to Unicode"
(and similarly for every other standard font)
Now that I think about it, maybe the problem is that the encoding of the entire
file is being mis-recognized by the validation software (or the PDF-A is really
mis-encoded).
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load attached writer doc (probably any will do)
2. File->Export to PDF and select "PDF/A" in the options
3. send an email to valid...@validatepdfa.com with a message body containing
the following 5 lines, and the .pdf file attached (no Subject). AFAIK this
won't sign you up for spam. But.
/Service (www.validatepdfa.com)
/Subscribe false
/Language /en
/Country /us
/ZipResults false
Actual Results:
The service sends back an email saying the validation failed, and with a .xml
attachment giving the details, which include the following:
