GdPicture Imaging Forums

Hello,

i have a PDF/A-3u PDF file and i need the PDF file as standard PDF file (no PDF/A-3u).
I tried GdPictureDocumentConverter.SaveAsPdf and GdPictureDocumentConverter.ConvertToPdf using PdfConformance.PDF as parameter.
The output file is in all cases still PDF/A-3u.

Exists a special way to do this?

Kind regards,
Andy

Hello,

To set your file as a PDF you can delete the metadata for stripping the conformance.
You can get the native PDF using: https://www.docuvieware.com/guides/aspn ... vePDF.html
Then, you will get a GdPicture object and you will be able to set the metadata: https://www.gdpicture.com/guides/gdpicture/GdP ... adata.html

By setting the metadata with an empty string like this: SetMetadata(""); and save it with SaveAsPDF, the metadata will not be cloned in new document and it will strip the PDF/A compliance.


Hope it helps!
