PDFA Values

[jeffp]

I use the code below to convert a document into a PDFA compliant document.

However, I want to account for all PDF/A types. As such, could you tell me what value to enter into the "Part" and "Conformance" items below to produce the following:

PDFA_1a
PDFA_1b
PDFA_2a
PDFA_2b
PDFA_2u
PDFA_3a
PDFA_3b
PDFA_3u

Also, what is the most common type or the one I should use as default?

Code: Select all

    for i := 0 to INST_PXV.ExportConvertersCount - 1 do
    begin
      cnv := INST_PXV.ExportConverter[i];
      cnv.Get_ID(AName);
      if SameText(AName, 'conv.exp.pdfa') then break;
      cnv := nil;
    end;

    if Assigned(cnv) then
    begin
      cab := INST_PXV.GetFormatConverterParams(False, PChar('conv.exp.pdfa'));
      if Assigned(cab) then
      begin
        params := cab.Root;
        APDFAPart := Max(1, Min(APDFAPart, 3));
        params.SetInt('Part', 1); 
        params.SetInt('Conformance', 1);
        params.SetInt('ShowReport', 0);
        params.SetString('ErrorMessage', 'false');

        FDocEx.Save(destPath, PXV_DocSave_NoProgress, nil, cnv, cab, nil, nil, 0);
        Result := FileExists(AOutputName);
      end;
    end;

Hello Jeff,

I used the word Conformance in the forum Search and found this:

Thanks. I missed that one.

What is the most common PDFA type these days? What should I set as the default? PDF/A-2b?

Hello Jeff,

The GetFormatConverterParams method returns the default values. Simply don't set the

Code: Select all

params.SetInt('Part', 1); 
params.SetInt('Conformance', 1);

And the Editor's defaults will be taken.

Cheers,
