6 PDF/A Support in Compart Products 1 1. PDF/A General Information In September 2005 the International Standards Organization (ISO) approved a new standard for document archiving. The full title of the standard is: ISO , Document management Electronic document file format for longterm preservation Part 1: Use of PDF 1.4 (PDF/A-1). The reason for a new standard: In the past none of the document formats among the so-called CI formats (Coded Information), based on its specifications and widespread use, seemed suitable for processing the long-term archival of output documents. CI formats are capable of describing all visible content such as text, picture files, vector graphics, fonts as well as color spaces in coded form. But in contrast to raster formats such as TIFF, JPEG, or GIF, text in CI formats are not in raster form but held as coded text which may also be used to find text segments. This is not possible for documents in TIFF format, which due to the widespread use and support of this format was used in the majority of archiving systems. Rendering output documents in raster format causes the loss of all text information since the text is converted to a pixel image. PDF however developed by Adobe specifically as an exchange format is ideally suited to transfer documents easily from one platform to another. Unfortunately compatibility over more than two versions of PDF was not guaranteed. Therefore it was not possible to assume that that documents converted to PDF could be viewed with the latest PDF viewer such as Acrobat Reader after a number of years. On the other hand, because of its wide adoption in contrast to other CI formats, PDF with some additional standardization was considered more suitable as a longterm archiving format. It was with this in mind that AIIM (Association for Information and Image Management) and NPES (National Printing Equipment Association), together with Adobe and with encouragement from several government departments, users and PDF suppliers began an initiative mid 2002 to define an appropriate standard based on PDF. The result of these efforts is PDF/A.

7 PDF/A Support in Compart Products PDF/A and Levels of Conformance The PDF/A standard is divided into in PDF/A-1 (Part 1) and PDF/A-2 (Part 2). PDF/A-1 is further classified in PDF/A-1a and PDF/A-1b. The PDF/A-1b (Level B Conformance) standard describes the minimal requirements of the PDF/A standard, required for long-term archival. PDF/A-1a and PDF/A-1b are differentiated largely in respect to text extraction. PDF/A-1a guarantees that the logical structure of a document as well as the reading order is preserved. Text extraction is important when documents may need to be displayed on a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) or another (similar) device 1. In this case the text has to be re-ordered on the limited display area available (Tagged PDF). Herein lies the difference with the PDF/A-1b standard, which guarantees that text can be properly displayed, but not that it is readable or understandable. Compart Products initially support the PDF/A-1b standard on the output side. 1 See section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act.

8 PDF/A Support in Compart Products 3 2. Compart Products and PDF/A DocBridge Mill, apart from its other features is also a fully fledged COLD product for the preparation of document datastreams as individual documents ready for archiving including index extraction. With this feature it is possible to make the output datastream PDF/A conformant and to pass it directly as the input to any archive system: AFP, AFP Mixed Mode, PDF, PCL, Xerox LCDS, and Metacode with DJDE, SAP ALF and OTF, ASCII and EBCDIC Linemode, Lotus Notes CDR, RTF, WMF, and the raster formats TIFF, JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG, TGA, and DjVu. In addition Compart s Application Renderer via its internal print driver can prepare PC documents and Notes mail databases as PDF/A files.

9 PDF/A Support in Compart Products 4 3. The PDF/A-1b Standard The PDF/A specification is based on PDF version 1.4, and as part of this specification, it designates additional criteria which have to be met. These mostly concern the restriction of features allowed in PDF V1.4 but not in PDF/A. While PDF/A deals with the static, image character of a document, all interactive elements within the document such as JavaScript are forbidden. Apart from this PDF/A documents may include device-independent color spaces, written with the help of ICC profiles. However, they may not also include device-dependent color spaces (CMYK and RGB). Furthermore passwords are taboo, as are compression methods for which the licensing conditions cannot be established beyond any doubt (i.e. LZW). All fonts, including the 14 standard fonts must be embedded. Note: All features of PDF version 1.4 are allowed, unless they are specifically prohibited by PDF/A-1b.

10 PDF/A Support in Compart Products Compart and PDF/A-1b At the moment it is not possible to produce PDF/A-1b, neither by a 1-to-1 copy (binary copy) nor by using an appropriate stamp. If files have to be created according to the PDF/A-1b standard, there are two ways of doing this: Using the strict mode (production) produces the PDF/A-1b standard. If certain conditions cannot be fulfilled, processing will either be halted with an error message, or an attempt made to meet the condition matically. The normal mode (verification) is used to create a document which fulfills the PDF/A-1b standard. For features not part of the standard, an error message is output. The following table details the implementation in Compart s software products of the main features of the PDF/A-1b standard. Table 1: Main Features of the PDF/A-1b Standard Feature Description Encryption Metadata Fonts Color Spaces Annotation Forms Encrypting documents is not allowed. Passwords as well as restrictions such as document printing, editing, etc may not be specified. The following metadata are matically added as XMP data: Title, Creator, Subject, Creatortool, Producer, Createdate, and Modifydate. All fonts must be embedded in the document. All fonts are checked. Only one uniform color space is allowed. RGB and CMYK color spaces are supported. An matic color space conversion is done, client specific color spaces may be used, if these conform to the specific requirements. Only ICC profiles conforming up to the ICC specification version 4 may be included. Data, sound, and video attachments are not allowed. The visual presentation is retained, any interactive objects are removed. Mode Message Strict Normal Abort Warning Any encryption is removed Transparencies Transparencies are not allowed Abort Error Message Fonts cannot be embedded. Abort Warning a) Color Space conversion was done. b) Customer profile may not be used. Abort Warning Attachments are removed Abort Warning

Use of DeviceCMYK is prohibited by PDF/A if the OutputIntent does not contain an CMYK destination profile. Use of DeviceRGB is prohibited by PDF/A if the OutputIntent does not contain an RGB destination profile. Use of DeviceGray is prohibited by PDF/A if the OutputIntent does not contain a Gray, RGB, or CMYK destination profile. Use of DeviceGray is prohibited by PDF/A if the OutputIntent does not contain a Gray, RGB, or CMYK destination profile. Use of DeviceRGB is prohibited by PDF/A if the OutputIntent does not contain an RGB destination profile. PDF/A requires that as soon as DeviceGray, DeviceRGB, or DeviceCMYK are used an OutputIntent with a destination profile must be present. ICC profiles version 4 or newer are prohibited in PDF/A.

14 PDF/A Support in Compart Products 9 4. PDF File Validation Currently, Adobe Acrobat Professional is available to validate if a PDF document complies with the PDF/A-1b standard. This can be done in the following way: Open the PDF document. Advanced Preflight. The Preflight window will be opened Select "Conform with PDF/A". Execute. Errors will be shown in the window. Please note that only Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional Version includes the up-to-date profile for PDF/A-1b validation. Based on information from callas software GmbH (developer of amongst others the software for PDF validation, including a module used by Adobe), the PDF/A-1a (including structure information) is at the moment not supported.

15 PDF/A Support in Compart Products Adobe and the ISO Standard Currently Adobe Acrobat uses a name space to create and validate PDF/A-1b, which is not compliant with the ISO standard, while Compart does conform to the ISO standard to create PDF/A-1b files. This means that the error message PDF/A Label missing is produced when PDF/A-1b files are validated. The error can be remedied in the future by Adobe with a program update.
