Use cases

Standards conformance validation

Validate your PDF documents against leading standards, including PDF Reference 1.3-1.6, PDF 1.7 (ISO 32000-1), PDF 2.0 (ISO 32000-2), and PDF/A standards (PDF/A-1, PDF/A-2, PDF/A-3). This ensures that your documents meet the strict requirements for industry-standard use cases like legal filings, government submissions, and long-term archiving.

Conformance level validation

Check your documents against specific conformance levels of the PDF/A standard, including B (Basic), U (Unicode), and A (Accessibility). This capability helps organizations ensure compliance with accessibility mandates and long-term digital preservation standards for critical documents.

Thorough validation at every level

The SDK performs detailed checks on lexical structures, syntax, and semantics, including token structuring, file positioning, compression errors, and required dictionary entries. This multi-layered approach guarantees the integrity of your PDF documents and compliance with the strictest specifications.

Customizable validation options

Leverage the SDK’s customizable validation settings to tailor the process to your specific needs. With options like setting the conformance level, you can ensure your validation aligns perfectly with your project’s goals and compliance needs.

Detailed and summarized reporting

Generate validation reports in detailed or summarized formats. These reports provide comprehensive information, including error descriptions, warnings, affected PDF objects, and precise page numbers. This detailed analysis simplifies identifying and resolving compliance issues, ensuring smoother workflows.

Preparation for PDF/A conversion

Analyze your PDFs to validate their conformance and identify additional adjustments needed for conversion to PDF/A. This pre-conversion analysis ensures that your documents are ready for archival standards, streamlining the conversion process for long-term digital preservation.
