Hi Andreas, thanks for the response. I apologize for the delay, I was only able to look at the code in question just now.
The issue in [1] does appear to be what I am waiting for. I'm not sure if there are other bug fixes in trunk which might affect my code - I had tested against a fixed revision, 1497458, which I checked out some weeks ago. I am hoping to use the classes in the preflight package to validate via preflightDocument.validate(). In my hand-rolled tests against that revision the validation appeared to be working correctly. On Thursday I will be able to run some tests again and see what exactly is missing in 1.8.2 which I might (kindly) beg to pull into 1.8.3. For the time being, I have the go-ahead to work against a fixed revision if necessary until changes are released. Thanks again, Patrick [1] https://issues.apache.org/**jira/browse/PDFBOX-1564<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1564> On Sat, Oct 12, 2013 at 3:22 PM, Andreas Lehmkuehler <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > > Am 11.10.2013 12:19, schrieb Patrick Wright: > > Hi >> >> I wrote a small proof-of-concept for generating PDFs with PDFBox a few >> weeks ago and everything went great. >> > Good to hear that, we like success stories :-) > > > As I need to work with PDF/A documents I would like to use the validation >> routines in the preflight package, and another class (PDOutputIntent) to >> set some metadata related to color profiles. >> > I guess you are talking about the changes in [1], aren't you? > > > > I'm wondering if there are fixed plans for a release including these new >> features?
