Generating programmatically PDF/A with Adv. Document Transf. Service (6.x)

We need to archive all document objects with a PDF/A rendition.

According to the manuals, one needs ADTS to generate PDF/A. So we have

installed one for development.

So far so good. However, how to generate now PDF/A programmatically?

We checked the manuals and Powerlink. So far, we could not find any further information.

The request "rendition_req_ps_pdf" generates PDF as with all previous

rendition server versions. Is there a new tag for PDF/A?

Thanks in advance for help.

Kind regards,

Thomas

    Isn't it somewhere in the Distiller Job Configuration ?

    If you look in the Adlib documentation which is installed as part of ADTS, there is a definition of which aspects of the PDF format can be customised. I cannot remember offhand where it is located, but it is called Adlib_Express_XMLJobTicket_UserGuide.pdf.

    The manual above can be found here:

    %DOCUMENTUM\CTS\Adlib\Express\UserGuide\Express XML Job Ticket.pdf

    With this manual you can create XML job tickets.

    Documentum will generate these job tickets for you when you request a PDF from your webtop client.

    The job tickets will be placed here (manual copy or by documentum):

    %DOCUMENTUM\CTS\Adlib Express\Input

    The Adlib service will watch this folder for new job tickets!

    A sample XML job ticket looks like this:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding='UTF-8'?>

    <?AdlibExpress applanguage="USA" appversion="3.9.5" dtdversion="2.4.0" ?>

    <!DOCTYPE JOBS SYSTEM "C:\Documents and Settings\dmadmin\Desktop\AdlibExpress.DTD">

    <JOBS xmlns:JOBS="http://www.adlibsoftware.com" xmlns:JOB="http://www.adlibsoftware.com">

    <JOB>

    <JOB:DOCINPUTS>

    <JOB:DOCINPUT FILENAME="mydoc.doc" FOLDER="C:\" />

    </JOB:DOCINPUTS>

    <JOB:DOCOUTPUTS>

    <JOB:DOCOUTPUT FOLDER="C:\" FILENAME="Output.pdf" DOCTYPE="PDF" />

    </JOB:DOCOUTPUTS>

    <JOB:SETTINGS>

    ...

    </JOB:SETTINGS>

    </JOB>

    </JOBS>

    Inhere you describe where the input and output file can be found.

    All job:settings are described in the manual.

    Best Regards,

    Antal
