Convert PDF 2 PDF/A

ceider

Hi,

is there a way to convert a PDF to a PDF/A using reportbuilder, especially in 18.0?

From my point of view this should not be possible out of the box, but there might be a hidden way to do it.

Hi Carsten,

ReportBuilder does not support direct PDF/A conversion.

Using RB 21 or later, it would be possible to use the PDFComponent to load an existing PDF into an empty report, then export that report (as PDF/A) to file as needed.

This is not the intended use of the PDFComponent as it was designed to simply view/print existing PDF files from within a report, however it could provide the functionality you need in a round-about way.
