Re: [NTG-context] How to create a PDF/A file with mkii?

Thanks Luigi! It turns out that with some slight modifications I could typeset the mentioned project with mkiv. Then after having added the following from your article: %% For PDF/A \setupbackend[ format={pdf/a-1a:2005}, profile={default_cmyk.icc, default_rgb.icc,default_gray.icc}, intent={% ISO coated v2 300\letterpercent\space (ECI)} ] %% Tagged PDF %% method=auto ==> default tags by Adobe \setupstructure[state=start,method=auto] I could get a PDF which looks fine: but now I have to make sure that it is PDF/A compliant. Right now I don’t hav etime to check this, but in any case you gave me good hope… Thanks! Best regards: OK On 02 Jul 2014, at 17:05, luigi scarso wrote:

Thanks Luigi for the hint to that paper. Unfortuantely the project has been done with mkii… that’s why I would like to know if it’s possible to produce a PDF/A compliant file with ConTeXt mkii. By the way, is there an easy way to check whether a PDF file is PDF/A compliant?

Best regards: OK afaik there is only and experimental extension of pdftex that used with latex can make pdf/a-1a (tagged pdf) -- but i'm not sure.

But pdf/a-1b are different (not tagged) so you can use ghostscript, even if it's not easy. Here an article by C: Beccari for xelatex http://www.guitex.org/home/images/ArsTeXnica/AT012/xelatex-pdfa.pdf
