convert

public Document convert(AnalysisResult analysis,
                        Document document,
                        Stream outStream)
                 throws java.io.IOException,
                        NotFoundException,

                        UnsupportedFeatureException

Convert a document to PDF/A.

Note that it is highly recommended to use Converter.ConversionEventListener to detect critical conversion events.

Parameters:

analysis - The result of the document's analysis using pdftools.pdfa.validation.Validator.analyze.

document - The document to convert

outStream - The stream where the converted document is written

Returns:

The result of the conversion

Throws:

LicenseException - The license check has failed.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - The outOptions argument is invalid.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - The output stream could not be opened for writing.

java.lang.IllegalStateException - The document has already been closed.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - The analysis has already been closed, e.g. due to a previous conversion.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - The PDF/A version of the analysis and the conversion options do not match.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - The analysis is not the analysis result of document.

java.io.IOException - Error reading from or writing to the outStream.

ConformanceException - The conformance required by options cannot be achieved.

• PDF/A level U: All text of the input document must be extractable.
• PDF/A level A: In addition to the requirements of level U, the input document must be tagged.

ConformanceException - The PDF/A version of the conformances of analysis and options differ. The same PDF/A version must be used for the analysis and conversion.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - The outOptions specifies document encryption, which is not allowed in PDF/A documents.

GenericException - The document cannot be converted to PDF/A.

CorruptException - The analysis has been stopped.

UnsupportedFeatureException - The document is not a PDF, but an XFA document. See pdftools.pdf.Document.getXfa for more information on how to detect and handle XFA documents.

NotFoundException - A required font is missing from the installed font directories.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if analysis is null

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if document is null

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if outStream is null
