Const SampleText = "PDF/A and PDF/X Compatibility\n\nPDF files can be created for different purposes such as printing, publishing, or archiving which have all their own requirements. Due to these different requirements two separate PDF standards were defined by the ISO Committee, PDF/X and PDF/A.\n\nPDF/X\n\nThe PDF/X-1a standard addresses blind exchanges where all files should be delivered in CMYK (and/or spot colors), with no RGB or device independent (color-managed) data. This is a common requirement in many areas around the world and in many print sectors – usually tied to an environment where the file supplier wants to retain maximum control of the print job.\nPDF/X 3 is like PDF/X 1a an ISO standard for graphic content exchange. The main difference is that PDF/X 3 allows the use of color management and device-independent color in addition to CMYK and spot colors.\nThe PDF/X standard requires all fonts to be embedded, the appropriate PDF bounding boxes to be specified, and color to appear as CMYK, spot colors, or both. In addition, PDF/X compliant PDF files must contain information describing the printing condition for which they are prepared (see AddRenderingIntent()).\nWhen creating PDF/X compliant files with DynaPDF you need to know that DynaPDF does not check whether certain features are allowed to use in the selected PDF/X standard. DynaPDF simply writes the required PDF/X key to the file which tells the viewer application that this file is compliant to a specific PDF/X version. Whether this is true or not depends on whether you used allowed features only and whether all required information were added to the file, e.g. the rendering intent (see AddRenderingIntent()), the document title (see SetDocInfo()) and the trim box for each page (see SetBBox()). It is usually best to check the resulting PDF file with a preflight tool before using certain features in a production environment.\nHowever, it is not very difficult to create PDF/X compliant PDF files. The main recommendation is that all fonts are embedded, that at the least the trim box for all pages are set, and that colors are defined in the color space DeviceCMYK (see SetColorSpace()). In addition, an ICC profile must be embedded in the file (see AddRenderingIntent()) and images must not be compressed with JPEG2000 compression.\nThe wished output PDF version must be set with SetPDFVersion().\n\nPDF/A\n\nPDF/A is an ISO standard for long-term preservation. These files are primarily used for archiving. PDF/A compliant files can contain text, raster images, vector graphics, as well as annotations, hyperlinks, or bookmarks.\nHowever, PDF/A compliant files must not contain JavaScripts or an Interactive Form. In addition, all fonts must be embedded and PDF/A compliant files must contain information describing the printing condition for which they are prepared (see AddRenderingIntent()). The output intent can be either CMYK or RGB based. However, only one device color space can be used in a document with the exception that DeviceGray can be combined with RGB or CMYK color spaces.\nWhen creating PDF/A compatible files with DynaPDF it is important to know that DynaPDF does not automatically check whether certain features are allowed to use. DynaPDF writes simply the required PDF/A key to the file which tells the viewer application that the file is compatible to a specific PDF/A standard. Whether this is true or not depends on whether prohibited features were used and whether all required information were added to the file, e.g. the rendering intent.\nHowever, DynaPDF contains the function CheckConformance() to check and convert non- conformant PDF files to PDF/A 1b. The function was originally developed a very powerful PDF to PDF/A converter called myPDFConvert by the DETEC GmbH in Germany.\nAll DynaPDF versions provide a restricted version of CheckConformance() that does not convert imported PDF files to PDF/A. The conversion of imported PDF files is possible if DynaPDF was licensed with the PDF/A Extension.\nCheckConformance() is a very good helper function to get your PDF file fully PDF/A 1b compatible. CheckConformance() is not a preflight function, it automatically adjusts anything that is possible to get the file PDF/A 1b compatible. The function supports a large set of flags to specify what should be done if prohibited features were found in the file. Take a look into the function description for further information.\n\n"
