> In a comment to PDFExportDialog2.pdf, pdflib tells "Unclear: hexadecimal
> string with whitespace characters (ambiguous in ISO 19005-1)" and "PDFlib
> opinion: whitespace in hex strings should be ignored". The PDF-Tools
> validator says it is a valid PDF. Solid Documents is unable to process the
> file.
> [~msahyoun] do you know if this has been clarified in PDF/A-2b or PDF/A-3b?
> It is valid in "ordinary" PDF files.
