Problem with the PDFA1B compliance

[Manulak Dissanayake]

Hi All



I am creating a PDF which is supposed to be complaint with PDF/A1-b and when I 
use online validators like PDF TOOLS Online 
Validator<http://www.pdf-tools.com/pdf/validate-pdfa-online.aspx>, it gives the 
following error saying that the PDF is not PDF/A complaint.



dc:description/*[0] :: Missing language qualifier.

dc:title/*[0] :: Missing language qualifier.

The property 'pdf:keywords' is not defined in schema 'Adobe PDF Schema'.

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'.

The required XMP property 'pdf:Keywords' for the document information entry 
'Keywords' is missing.



I am using FOP for rendering my PDF and using iText (iText 2.1.6 by 1T3XT) for 
converting the PDF to be PDF/A complaint.



public void convertToPdfA(File file1, File file2)

{

PdfReader reader = null;

Document document = null;

PdfCopy copy;



       InputStream PROFILE = 
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("com/ini/vldt/config/sRGB 
Color Space Profile.icm");



There I first read the PDF file to a PdfReader object, then get a copy as 
follows.



reader = new PdfReader(new RandomAccessFileOrArray(file1.getPath()),null);

              //Creating a new document that has the existing page size

              document = new Document(reader.getPageSizeWithRotation(1));

              //save the data in the 'document' to file2

              copy = new PdfCopy(document, new FileOutputStream(file2));



Then I try adding the Title, Author, Keywords, Creator, Subject, Creation Date 
and Producer as follows.



try{

document.addTitle(reader.getInfo().get("Title").toString());

}

catch(Exception e){

document.addTitle("TEST Title");

}



try{

document.addAuthor(reader.getInfo().get("Author").toString());

}

catch(Exception e){

document.addAuthor("TEST Author");

}



try{

document.addKeywords(reader.getInfo().get("Keywords").toString());

}

catch(Exception e){

document.addKeywords("TEST Keywords");

}



document.addCreator("TEST Creator");

document.addCreationDate();

document.addProducer();



try{

document.addSubject(reader.getInfo().get("Subject").toString());

       }

catch(Exception e){

document.addSubject("TEST Subject");

}





Then I give the PDFA conformance values and then create the PDF as follows.



copy.setPDFXConformance(PdfCopy.PDFA1B);

copy.setPdfVersion(PdfCopy.VERSION_1_4);

document.open();

ICC_Profile icc = ICC_Profile.getInstance(PROFILE);

copy.setOutputIntents("Custom", "", "http://www.color.org";, "sRGB 
IEC61966-2.1", icc);



for(int i=1;i<=reader.getNumberOfPages();i++){

document.setPageSize(reader.getPageSizeWithRotation(i));

copy.addPage(copy.getImportedPage(reader, i));

}

copy.createXmpMetadata();

copy.close();

document.close();

reader.close();





I got another error report from 
SolidFrameowrk<http://www.validatepdfa.com/online.htm> validations as follows.


- <metadata>
  <problem severity="error" objectID="27" clause="6.7" standard="pdfa">Language

  <problem severity="error" objectID="18" clause="6.3.5" 
standard="pdfa">Missing or incorrect CIDSet for CIDFont subset</problem>
 </fonts>

What can be the issue? Any reply is highly appreciated.

Thank  you.
