ISO 19005-1:2005 (PDF/A-1)

[John]

Hallo Support,

it seems that long-term archiving is becoming a big issue with pdfs and therefore, an ISO norm has been developed to ensure that pdfs of today can be read in years to come. Our new application we are building will create pdfs with Stimulsoft c# code and allow then to be both filled out and signed, using electronic signatures. These documents will then be both sent over web services for further processing and also archived by the users.
We have been asked to produce pdfs which fulfil ISO 19005-1:2005 (PDF/A-1). I have been reading up on this and found the following:

PDF/A-1 files must include:
• Embedded fonts
• Device-independent colour
• XMP metadata

My question is then, do you have any support for these requirements and if not, do you intent to implement this in the near future?

Many thanks,

John Kitching

Hallo Aleksey,

thanks for the quick reply. That's great to know that it's supported. Having now looked around in the code, if I understand it correctly, I can set everything I need in c# using the StiPdfExportSettings. Is that correct?

Best regards,
John Kitching
