   Collapse AllThis property gets or sets the value indicating whether to produce a PDF/A compatible output file.
|
| VARIANT_BOOL ProducePDFA { get; set; } |
Value
VARIANT_TRUE if the document should be produced with a PDF/A compatible output file; VARIANT_FALSE otherwise
Remarks
Setting ProducePDFA to VARIANT_TRUE means that the output PDF file will be built compatible to the PDF/A standard. You should set this property before any text or graphics output.
PDF/A format means:
- Audio and video content are forbidden.
- Javascript and executable file launches are prohibited.
- All used fonts are embedded. This also applies to the so-called PostScript standard fonts such as Times or Helvetica.
- Color spaces are specified in a device-independent manner.
- Encryption is disallowed.
Note: Setting this property to VARIANT_TRUE will force the output file format version to be 1.4. See compatibility for more details.
