PDF/A (a-1b) and fonts

Post by Chess » Tue Aug 05, 2014 12:09 pm

Hello,

I try to build a PDF/A-1b from an existing PDF. I use clonePage to copy PDF page from the old one (PDF) to the new PDF/A.
I have no error but using Acrobat pro (10), I check the resulting PDF/A with tools->Print production->Preflight and profile "PDF/a-1b (2005) and the file is rejected. I get a lot of warn about font (Arial and Arial,Bold) : not embedded.

I also try to add missing font with function AddTrueTypeFont like that :
string s = oGdPicturePDF.AddTrueTypeFont("Arial", true, false, true);
string s2 = oGdPicturePDF.AddTrueTypeFont("Arial-Bold", false, false, true);
...
The PDF grow but I always get error about missing embedded font.

Using GdPictures PDF, what is the way to create correct PDF/A-1b that pass the preflight check.

Thanks.

Hi,

I finally solve it with iTextSharp that give better control over PDF creation. See this link at stackoverflow.

Note : the control result is not the same depending Acrobat version you are using.
