Hello,
we need to create a PDF/A-1A file from our application. Our application is written in .Net and we can print to any printer.
I tried the Adobe PDF Printer by Acrobat 9 Pro but the printer creates only PDF/A-1B files. The conversation with Preflight or any other conversation tools fails.
Can someone help me what I have to do to create valid PDF/A-1A files from self written applications?
Thanks,
Lars
Conversion in Acrobat, even for a document with tags, is extremely difficult due to the way metadata is handled. We'll have more info on AcrobatUsers shortly, but the broad answer is that an /A-1b file can be made pretty much anywhere in your workflow, but /A-1a has to be done at the very start.
