Hi,


I'm new to PDFBox. I'm currently trying to figure out how to generate PDF/X-1a conformant PDF using PDFBox. I found some references related to PDF/A validation using PDFBox, but none pertinent to PDF/X.


Is it possible to use PDFBox to generate PDF/X-1a compliant PDF docs? Or, at least to validate PDF files against PDF/X-1a standards?

Yes it is possible to use PDFBox to generate PDF/A-1a compliant docs. Just read the standard ( this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF/X gives a preview) and respect the requirements. No, PDFBox doesn't have a validator for that.

To clarify this -
PDFBox is rather low level, i.e. you have to know a bit about PDF itself. There isn't switch in PDFBox that sets PDF/A-1a compatibility. To see what I mean, have a look at the CreatePDFA.java example. This isn't what you need, but it shows what extra work is to be done for that standard, e.g. output intents and XMP.
