I would like to know wich PDF version I generate when creating a PDF file.
There exists three versions of PDF files:
PDF/A - for archiving
PDF/E - for engeneering
PDF/X - for printing
As a matter of fact I would like to know if it's possible to generate a PDF/A with Outsystems 11
Hi Jorge,
How are you generating the PDF? Are you using a specific Forge component?

Hi Afonso!
Yes, I am using the Ultimate PDF component.

If you have questions about a specific component, you better post in the component's subforum instead of the general forum. It will get specific attention from the component maintainers there.
Did you already figure out how to generate PDF/ A with outsystems 11?

Hi Peter,
I found a software called PDFTron that generates PDF / A and that makes a .NET component available to call the software API and generate the PDF / A. I'm going to test this solution, so I still don't know if it will work or not.
Hi Jorge.
The PDF file produced seems to be version 1.4, and not compliant to PDF/A. It does, however, embed all fonts and graphics, so if that's your requirement then it should be ok.
If you really need a PDF/A file, you could try to use some third-party service that converts the PDF generated by Ultimate PDF into a compliant one. I tried using this website and it worked - not sure if they have an API or a library, but may be worth getting in touch with them.
