Abstract

There is often the need to submit a PDF/A to an online form. Most office suites have a way to export to a PDF that cplies with the PDF/A standards (yes, plural!), but it is often hidden somewhere or the user may forget how the have created that. Also none of these office suites let the user to choose which standard they want to have. In this blog post I'm writing the ultimate solution I found after a lot of trial and error with various software, to validate if a given PDF file is complient or not, and if it is, which version of PDF/A.
