But they did! They say PDF/A. But you have a point that this maybe is not enough. Which version of PDF/A are we talking about? In general the policy is most likely a good one, because PDF/A gives you certain guarantees (e.g. That the document renders consistently to the same printed output, even years after archiving). > > > Thanks for any help. > > Not concrete help, but the Wikipedia [1] makes for an interesting > read (including refs to bunches of test suites you can throw at your > publisher's site to find out where their validator is failing). > > And there seems to be a kind of semi-official validaror, according > to the above ref. I never tried to generate PDF/A from LaTeX but I am sure it is possible. By default it would not include any javascript and IIRC it embeds the font. > > Cheers > > [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF/A > -- > t -- Henning Follmann | hfollm...@itcfollmann.com
