[poppler] PDF/a validator with poppler

[Johnny Mariéthoz]

Hello,

do you know if it is possible to create a pdf/a validator using poppler?

PDF/A is a standard format for long term archive of documents.
Basically it is based on 1.4 version with some contraints [1]:
	• Audio and video content are forbidden.
	• JavaScript and executable file launches are prohibited.
	• All fonts must be embedded and also must be legally embeddable for unlimited, universal rendering. This also applies to the so-called PostScript standard fonts such as Times or Helvetica.
	• Colorspaces specified in a device-independent manner.
	• Encryption is disallowed.
	• Use of standards-based metadata is mandated.

I'm sure that this kind of tool can interest a lot of people in the domain of long term archiving.

Many thanks in advance.
