We’ve been evaluating different tools that might create PDF/A files for our
digital archive and are having a hard time interpreting the results from
VeraPDF from two different directions. First, in our real-world tests of
ABBYY FineReader, Adobe Acrobat, and Ghostscript, not all of the tools
produces a valid PDF/A file according to VeraPDF (though we’ve had problems
with each), which is perfectly fine (and not something that is a fault of
the tool), but it presents the following questions:
1. Can VeraPDF highlight the relative severity of the error? Or is there
info available about the relative severity of an uncalibrated color space
vs. undocumented operators in a content stream
2. Are there recommendations for batch tools to fix PDFs that you might
suggest?
3. Are there better tools that you’ve found for batch creating PDF/As
that you might suggest?
thanks in advance,
adam brin
