Hello again,

I am still trying to make a proof of concept before buying a HTML to PDF solution and I have the following issue:

The created PDF do is not conforme with the level pdfa-1b for the following reason:

The required XMP property 'dc:title' for the document information entry 'Title' is missing.
The required XMP property 'dc:creator' for the document information entry 'Author' is missing.
The required XMP property 'dc:description' for the document information entry 'Subject' is missing.
The required XMP property 'xmp:CreatorTool' for the document information entry 'Creator' is missing.
The required XMP property 'pdf:Keywords' for the document information entry 'Keywords' is missing.
The required XMP property 'pdf:Producer' for the document information entry 'Producer' is missing.
The document does not conform to the requested standard.
The document's meta data is either missing or inconsistent or corrupt.

Here is my C# code to create it:

PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
doc.Standard = PdfStandard.PDF_A;
doc.Info.Author = "Author";
doc.Info.Title = "Title";
doc.Info.Creator = "Creator";
doc.Info.Keywords = "Keywords";
doc.Info.Producer = "Producer";
doc.Info.Subject = "Subject";
HtmlToPdf.Options.BaseUrl = (string)AdditionnalData["BaseUrl"];
EO.Pdf.HtmlToPdf.Options.HeaderHtmlFormat = "<div style='text-align:center'>Test</div>";
//Page footer with "variable"
EO.Pdf.HtmlToPdf.Options.FooterHtmlFormat = "Page {page_number}";
HtmlToPdf.ConvertHtml(HTML, doc);
doc.Save("C:\\Temp\\test.pdf");

Is there any probleme with the pdfa1b standard and the EO.pdf.dll?

Is there something I am missing here?

Thank you again.

Hi,

Currently we do not generate XMP in the file. We will look into it and see if we can add that.

Thanks!

I am not very aware of the pdfa1b standard but:

Does it means that EO.PDF does not support the standard pdfa1b?

That could be the case. There are multiple level of conformance and my understanding is some level requires XMP data. It should not be difficult for us to add XMP data. So we will see if we can add it.

Thanks!

Thank you very much for your help. I am afraid I need a strict conformance to the standard.

Thanks

Hi,

We are adding this feature. Can you let us know which tool you used to verify the compliance so that we can run the same test here?

Thanks!

When do you think it would be available?

Thank!

Hi,

I work with Robin.

Thanks for the new build, it works ! We bought EO.PDF.

Since we use the new build, Keywords are dupliacted PDF properties. But everything is ok with the previous build.

If I use the following code :
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
pdf.Standard = PdfStandard.PDF_A;
...
pdf.Info.Keywords = "keywords test";
...

When I open the PDF generated, in document properties, I see "keywords test";"keywords test" in keywords field.
