PdfProcessing: Generated PDF files are not PDF/A compliant according to some validation tools 
When opened in Adobe Reader it says that the file "claims compliance". However, when verifying the compliance with some validation tools there seem to be some issues mainly related but not limited to fonts.

Hello,

This item will be available in R2 2023 Release. 

It is also available with Telerik UI for WPF's latest internal build - LIB 2023.1.423 (23 Apr 2023) if you need it earlier.

Regards,
Peshito

If anyone out there is looking for a solution for generating PDF/A compliant pdfs until this issue is resolved, we've had luck with https://www.datalogics.com/products/pdftools/pdf-optimizer/.  This is a command line utility and there's also a full on SDK at https://www.datalogics.com/products/pdf/pdflibrary/. As I understand it, Adobe has partnered with DataLogics to provide these. There's a free trial for each, but they do require licensing.

Hello, Telerikers,

I would like to add that the title of this bug is somewhat misleading.  From our tests, it appears that RadPdfProcessing is not producing PDF/A (1B) compliant documents.

The same source pdf document can be saved in the Adobe suite as PDF/A 1B compliant and will pass verification of veraPDF (and be consumed without issue by another application expecting a compliant document), while the output of RadPdfProcessing does not pass verification and is not consumed by the same application.

Also note that the source document is a PDF originally generated from a Telerik RadDocument then imported and re-exported through the RadFixedDocument. So, it doesn't appear there is an end-to-end solution for generating a compliant document using only Telerik tools.  

In my opinion, this should escalate the urgency under which this issue is addressed.

See support ticket 1349612 for a sample application.

I'm willing to test some pre-release bits should you need help with that.

Thanks for listening!

Brian
