Re: [NTG-context] PDF/A generation

Dear Henri, the <info> is taken from a mail to Hans and Luigi. Better be patient and wait for Hans to implement the changes (shouldn't break your documents). But I donno if the previously RNG based 'id' (a fixed value now!) is handled somewhere else in the code. Hans knows, I don't. There were several changes in the past for a more constant PDF output for test purposes and every random value would break that. ---- <info> 1. bad XMP 'id' The XMP packet wrapper is kind of fixed ('7.3.2 XMP packet wrapper', page 10 of XMPSpecificationsPart1.pdf from XMP-Toolkit-SDK-CC201607.zip) http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/xmp/sdk/XMP-Toolkit-SDK-CC20160... <?xpacket begin="?" id="W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d"?> Had also fun times with a (bad) copy and pasted 'begin' attribute (U+FEFF), until I entered it manually. Quite depressing... :D 2. missing 'pdfaSchema:valueType' entries (containing an empty rdf:Seq/) </info> Fixed files (lpdf-pda.xml, lpdf-xmp.lua) are attached ('base' dir). Tested with all supported PDF/A variants (added test files for a2/a3 variants) and all passed. ---- Best wishes, Peter Am 18.10.2016 um 15:44 schrieb Henri Menke:

Dear Peter,

thanks for the update. Can you maybe tell what exactly has changed to fix it? I'm on the TL 2016 release and cannot update because I fear regressions for my important document.

Cheers, Henri

Hi,

just for the records. The problems were on ConTeXt's side (fixed now), the online validator does a pretty good job.

Sigh.. I had high hopes on this one. Would be nice to have a free and working (in this combination) validator. I'll make some tests over the weekend and contact the author(s). No bug report, no fix.

I have not said that it's wrong, only that it fails to validate the pdf..the validator could be ok infact.

True, that conclusion comes from my side. I'm pretty sure that all needed XMP entries are properly set, so chances are high, that the error is on their side. But we will (hopefully) see. Also: If Acrobat isn't right, what tools are left for validation?

Btw, as I can see from http://www.pdfa.org/2016/08/slide-decks-and-video-recordings-of-the-pdf-days... it seems that there is a bit of depression in validating pdf/a files ....

Interesting, but better don't dig too deep... :D
