![]() ![]() I did a search for untagged elements in Acrobat but I get no results after having finished tagging. I think in this case there is just one single untagged element in the structure and it would be cool to find it. I don't think that metadata problem is linked to the structure error we are discussing here ("Structured PDF: Type entry. However I found a workaround for this: Removing all metadata with Acrobat's PDF-Optimizer and putting it back in Acrobat. It seems like there is no possibility to save documents in the creative suite using an old xmp standard which is required by PDF/A. and Preflight tasks run a detailed check and can fix certain elements (such as changing the compression mode or adding an output intent) but they don't fix all the errors in the structure or the metadata, as many of the problems are semantic (requiring a human to make the decision).Thank you for your detailed answer! I have noticed the metadata problem too.

If you want some examples to play with, try these: There are countless A1-a files in existence (millions are created every year) but they are pretty much all the result of PDFMaker output from MS Office, or OpenOffice/NeoOffice direct export. The standard is not particularly hard to meet if you start with the original document, but it's nigh on impossible if you start halfway through. You can of course print the file as PDF/A1-b (with no tag structure) by using Acrobat's virtual printer, but even the PDF/A Consortium say that creating an A1-a file is only practicable within the original application - and Creative Suite doesn't support PDF/A. In the case of InDesign, it's an extra section of XMP that is always written into the file no matter what export options you choose, that Acrobat cannot remove and isn't permitted under the PDF/A standard. PDFs exported from other applications (Creative Suite included) do not use PDFMaker, and invariably they add or omit some of the structure or metadata. Saving to PDF/A1-a from Word for example is no harder than saving to any other PDF version. Adobe Illustrator also has a built-in preflight tool, and Adobe Acrobat has preflight. The report will list important information about the InDesign document, such as that found in the list below. If you export from MS Word etc using PDFMaker, you can make a PDF/A1-a file very easily as the original document can be analyzed and restructured before it's assembled into the PDF. The preflight module in InDesign will generate a report that can be included with the packaged contents a designer should provide to a manufacturer. and Preflight tasks run a detailed check and can fix certain elements (such as changing the compression mode or adding an output intent) but they don't fix all the errors in the structure or the metadata, as many of the problems are semantic (requiring a human to make the decision).
