Hello, I'm trying to upgrade from pdfbox 1.8.10 to 2.0.0-RC3. We try to create valid PDF/A documents with pdfbox.
I took the following example from trunk and recreated it in our application: pdfbox\examples\src\main\java\org\apache\pdfbox\examples\pdmodel\CreatePDFA.java I created a unit test similar to CreatePDFA.java and pdfbox creates valid PDF/A document in our unit tests. But when I start to package the code into a WAR File and deploy it to a Wildfly 9.0.1-Final, pdfbox starts to create slightly different XMP Metadata. The XMP Metadata seems to be incorrect, just as described in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2896 : <x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/"> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";> <rdf:Description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"; rdf:about=""> <dc:title> <rdf:Alt> <rdf:li lang="x-default">PDF/A Rendition</rdf:li> </rdf:Alt> </dc:title> </rdf:Description> <rdf:Description xmlns:pdfaid="http://www.aiim.org/pdfa/ns/id/"; rdf:about=""> <pdfaid:part>1</pdfaid:part> <pdfaid:conformance>B</pdfaid:conformance> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF> </x:xmpmeta> The list element for the Dublin Core title should have a xml:lang="" attribute instead of lang="". The problem only occurs when the application is deployed to the application server. If I manually adjust the Dublin Core title element, the resulting PDF is recognized as PDF/A by the Adobe Reader. What can cause the different results in the XMP Metadata between Unit Test and Application Server Runtime?
