Build Identifier: All Currently there is no support in the BIRT API to turn on/off the use of the PDF/A-1a, PDF/A-1b etc. standards. Howerer this is possible in the Birt source code: "BIRT uses iText to generate PDF and iText has a setPDFXConformance method, but currently BIRT does not make this call in the PDF emitter. PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(filename)); writer.setPdfVersion(PdfWriter.PDF_VERSION_1_4); writer.setPDFXConformance(PdfWriter.PDFA1B) I am not certain whether this means that the files BIRT produces are not compliant. You could always change the source and add the call. Jason " See for the details http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/259539/ Reproducible: Always
For example the fonts are not included in the PDF file by the default BIRT PDF. In my example file the Helvetica font was not included in the PDF file.
It's annoying. I had to create my own PDF/A emitter plugin which differs from original PDF emitter version 4.4.2 only in some lines of code and color profile resource: public class PDFPageDevice implements IPageDevice { /* PDFA - color profile */ public static final String COLOR_PROFILE = "/resource/sRGB.profile"; ... public PDFPageDevice( OutputStream output, String title, String author, String subject, String description, IReportContext context, IReportContent report ) { this.context = context; this.report = report; doc = new Document( ); try { writer = PdfWriter.getInstance( doc, new BufferedOutputStream( output ) ); // PDFA - start // disable Transparency writer.setRgbTransparencyBlending( false ); // PDFA - end EngineResourceHandle handle = new EngineResourceHandle( ULocale.forLocale( context.getLocale( ) ) ); String creator = handle.getMessage( MessageConstants.PDF_CREATOR, versionInfo ); doc.addCreator( creator ); if ( null != author ) { doc.addAuthor( author ); } if ( null != title ) { doc.addTitle( title ); } if ( null != subject ) { doc.addSubject( subject ); doc.addKeywords( subject ); } if ( description != null ) { doc.addHeader( "Description", description ); } // PDFA - start writer.setPdfVersion(PdfWriter.PDF_VERSION_1_4); writer.setPDFXConformance(PdfWriter.PDFA1A); writer.setTagged(); writer.createXmpMetadata(); doc.open( ); ICC_Profile icc = ICC_Profile.getInstance(this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(COLOR_PROFILE)); writer.setOutputIntents("Custom", "", "http://www.color.org", "sRGB IEC61966-2.1", icc); // PDFA - end } catch ( Exception de ) { logger.log( Level.SEVERE, de.getMessage( ), de ); } }
