Hi Augustine,

> 1. Metadata does not conform to XMP

PDF/A-1b does not require the presence of any metadata at all. Nevertheless, if 
metadata is present, it must be present as XMP metadata. By implication: if the 
document Info entry for example contains the Title or Author fields, these 
fields must also be reflected in matching XMP metadata fields, e.g. dc:title 
(where dc is the recommended prefix for metadata fields according to the Dublin 
Core metadata standard). For metadata fields that are expressed using 
non-standard metadata schemas (e.g. a company specific metadata schema), an 
"extension schema description" must also be embedded in the XMP metadata stream.

To get started I would try to create a PDF with just one metadata field, and 
try to get that right. Depending on where you get stuck, please report back…

using the so called standard 14 fonts (without embedding them) is not an option 
in PDF/A - even not for very simple ext centric documents like log files. PDF/A 
reqires that alll fonts used are embedded (except for fonts used in invisible 
text mode / text rendering mode 3). If font embedding is done right, the fonts 
do not really need a lot of space.
