Hi, here's an example: http://itextpdf.com/examples/iia.php?id=226
And you are right, the method to use is called 'setPDFXConformance': (Probably historical reasons?) writer.setPDFXConformance(PdfWriter.PDFX1A2001); You should better upgrade to the latest version. If you can't do that try to use at least 2.1.7. I checked the history of iText since 2.1.7 and didn't find (major) changes in the PDF/A area. But maybe i overlooked it. Best you check for yourself again: http://itextpdf.com/history/ Also try to run your code in the current version and verify the output... 2011/11/18 David Thielen <da...@windward.net> > > The javadoc for 5.1.3 is the same – just setPDFXConformance().
