Hi,
I try to generate a PDF/A and check its conformance with a validation tool
: PDF Validator from PDF Tools.
I create a document, I add all informations to fill "document info" and
finally I call createXmpMetadata() method from writer.
The most simpliest method to generate XMP metadatas.
When validation time arrives, two errors appears :
- The XMP property 'dc:title' is not synchronized with the document
information entry 'Title'
- The XMP property 'dc:description' is not synchronized with the document
information entry 'Subject'
At first I use PDFReader to extract and check if there were some
differences between document info and XMP metadas.
But title and subject in document informations are the same to dc:title and
dc:description tag in XMP metadatas.
To be sure, I've even decided to browse the generated PDF source with a
third external application : JPedal which give me the same information.
Then, I tried an other PDF validator, Intarsys online PDF/A validator (
http://www.intarsys.de/pdfa-check) which rejects the file generated by
IText like PDF Validator did.
At the end, I removed title and subject from document info (by removing
addTitle and addSubject call in my code) and I check the PDF generated
which has become valid for both validators.
Is this issue known?
*Code :*
Document document = new Document();
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new
FileOutputStream(filePath));
writer.setPdfVersion(PdfWriter.PDF_VERSION_1_4);
writer.setTagged();
writer.setPDFXConformance(PdfWriter.PDFA1A);
document.open();
document.addAuthor("Me");
document.addTitle("A nice title");
document.addSubject("A very important subject");
document.addKeywords("Test File");
document.addCreator("Creator ©");
document.addProducer();
document.addCreationDate();
writer.createXmpMetadata();
Font font =
FontFactory.getFont("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/verdana.ttf",
BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
ICC_Profile icc = ICC_Profile.getInstance(new
FileInputStream("/usr/share/color/icc/sRGB.icc"));
writer.setOutputIntents("Custom", "", "http://www.color.org";, "sRGB
IEC61966-2.1", icc);
document.add(new Paragraph("PDF/A-1a file test", font));
for (int i = 1; i < 101; i++) {
document.add(new Paragraph("A sentence on line " + i, font));
}
document.close();
