I've started getting this message when the pdf is opened in Adobe - "this file claims compliance with the pdf/a standard". Screenshot uploaded here: https://ibb.co/nLEVmb

How could I turn this off? thanks.

Hi,

If the PDF is generated by us, it means you have explicitly set the file standard to PDF/A through this property:

https://www.essentialobjects.com/doc/eo.pdf.pdfdocument.standard.aspx

If you do not want your file to be PDF/A compliant, then you do not set that property (the default value is None).

Thanks!

Thanks, I went through the code and I hadn't set the PdfStandard.

To try and overwrite it, I just went in and set the value to None next to where I create the PDFDocument.

It's still having the issue.

What else can we try?

Hi,

In that case I am not sure what caused it. This is the only option that would affect file standard.

If you continue to see the problem, please try to isolate the problem into a test project and send the test project to us:

https://www.essentialobjects.com/forum/test_project.aspx

Once we have that we will be happy to investigate further.

Thanks

I'm having the same identical issue. We are evaluating EO.pdf.18.0.28.

This is the (simple) code I'm using:

var pdfDocument = new PdfDocument();
pdfDocument.Standard = PdfStandard.None;
HtmlToPdf.ConvertHtml(myHtmlString, pdfDocument);
pdfDocument.Save(myPdfFilePath);

The "this file claims compliance with the pdf/a standard" message is displayed when the pdf is opened in acrobat regardless setting pdfDocument.Standard = PdfStandard.None; or pdfDocument.Standard = PdfStandard.PDF_A;
the only difference is that in the first case it does not pass pdfa1 validation.


Regards,
-Marco

Hi,

Please update to build 18.0.55 and see if it resolves this issue.

Thanks!

By the way - in my case this message is shown in the paid version of adobe acrobat. When I open in other PDF readers, it's not displayed.

Thank You,
