Hi,
we are using the PDFAPlugin.pvp to export PDF files as PDF/a conform files. That works quiet well, despite that we are facing issues with some PDF image files.
As an example we have a 12MB file which is PDF/A-1a conform. Want want users to be able to put a stamp onto the document, so we are using DiscardPDFA method, to allow changes on the document. If we now use Save or Export methods, the document is nearly the same size but of course not PDF/a conform.
So we use PDFAPlugin.pvp to export the file a PDF/A-1a with the result that the file is 330MB in size, which is a nightmare. We investigated the files and saw that the problem is the images. They seem to be compressed before and not compressed anymore after PDF/a export.
Is there a way to get back to the original size of 12MB? The original file is already PDF/A-1a conform so the used compression should not be a violation of PDF/a rules anyway.
I could provide a sample PDF, but would do that only on a more private way than attach it to this article here.
Regards
Andreas

Hello AnMuWK,
Can that be recreated in the End-User Editor?

Hi,
yes, we are able to reproduce that behaviour with the latest version we just downloaded.

Hello AnMuWK,
Then it's not a SDK issue but an End-User one and it should be investigated there. Please post to the appropriate End-User forum - you will be assisted there.
