Can I save a PDF as a regular PDF, instead of PDF/A?

[ryancole11]

Hello,

I'm using GdPicture Pro to merge to PDFs. The resulting PDF is a PDF/A, though. Is it possible to just save these as a regular PDF?

Thanks

Hi,

It should be possible. Could you provide a code snippet for you you are currently doing ?

Also keep in mind that GdPciture Pro (ActiveX)<> GdPicture.NET. So if you are using the ActiveX version, please refer to the ActiveX section of this forum.

Kind regards,

Loïc

I'm using the .NET version.

Here's the complete code for what I am doing. Is there something I can do to make these come out as regular PDFs?

Hi,

you are not using the .NET version but GdPicture Pro which is an ActiveX.

The way you are generating your PDF is using the high-level api TwainPdfOCRStartEx. Unfortunately, we do not provide a way to don't generate non PDA/A through this method. Simply because we always thought this has no sense to refuse a PDF/A against a non PDF/A. A PDF/A is just a PDF with a flag indicating that the content of this PDF is 100% compliant with the PDF/A conformance. If this is a problem for you you have to editi the resulting document and replace the following string in the header "%âãÏÓ" by " ".

Hopet his helps !

Kind regards,

Loïc
