There is no single switch.

PDF/A-1b is doable, -1a probably needs future extensions in the engine
(tagged pdf). Both need other software to check the images.

The pdf that pdftex produces is quit esimple and conforms to pdf/x. 
However, includes images as well as using special features can make the 
document less compliant (think of special color spaces, annotations and 
such). Of course we have no control over included images which are black 
boxes to pdftex.

[NTG-context] PDF/A with ConTeXt

2008-02-07 Thread Santy, Michael 

Records management systems prefer to receive their PDFs compliant with the 
PDF/A standard (subset of PDF 1.4).  Is there any mechanism in ConTeXt/pdfTex 
to specify the PDF output should comply with PDF/A?
