Hi, I am trying to make my pdf files conforming to PDF/A. They are simple black on white (the letterhead is printed along with the document on a b&w printer). Is there a good recipe to make the validator happy? Regards Wolfgang Hamann

Dear All, You are invited to join us for our next webinar exploring the veraPDF policy checker. *Overview* The veraPDF software is capable of more than just PDF/A validation. veraPDF also provides a policy checker capable of carrying out custom PDF document checks beyond the scope of PDF/A validation. Examples of custom checks include highlighting the use of particular fonts or image formats, enforcing population of metadata fields or limiting the number of pages in a document. In this webinar we’ll be: - Giving a demonstration of the policy checker. - Providing a brief, non-technical overview of the supporting technologies: XML Schematron, XPath and XQuery. - Helping you to get started with the policy checker, showing how to report issues and get help. Finally, we will be outlining our future development plans for the policy checker, and we’ll wrap up with a question and answer session. To read more about veraPDF policy checking, see the documentation page: http://docs.verapdf.org/policy/ *Session Leads* Carl Wilson, Open Preservation Foundation Boris Doubrov, Dual Lab *Time and date* The webinar takes place on Thursday 30 March at 14:00 BST / 15:00 CEST and will last approximately one hour. There are 50 place available that will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. *Registration* Please register at: https://openpreservation.clickmeeting.com/verapdf-policy-checking/register.
