Convert PDF Document to PDF/A Format

Converting PDF to XFA

Introduction

This API enables you to convert PDF document to a PDF/A compliant PDF file. Please check API Reference page that provides the description of API’s parameters. The type parameter specifies the type of PdfA format and can contain one of the following two values:

PDFA1A Portable Document Format Level A compliance
PDFA1B Portable Document Format Level B compliance

Please note we follow Adobe Preflight for validating PDF/A conformance. All tools on the market have their own “representation” of PDF/A conformance. Please check this article on PDF/A validation tools for reference. We chose Adobe products for verifying how Aspose.PDF produces PDF files because Adobe is at the center of everything connected to PDF.

We have provided a sparate API for each of the following use case:

Aspose.PDF Swagger UI lets you call the REST API directly from the browser.

SDKs

Using an SDK (API client) is the quickest way for a developer to speed up the development. An SDK takes care of a lot of low-level details of making requests and handling responses and lets you focus on writing code specific to your particular project. Checkout our GitHub repository for a complete list of Aspose.PDF SDKs along with working examples, to get you started in no time.
