<p class=MsoNormal>Hello there,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have been trying to create a PDF/A-1b output for a
customer.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Unfortunately, while doing this I have to transform
Postscript to XEP files that are merged with my actual data and these transformed
XEP files include SVG images.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>After rendering the XEP files to PDF/A, Acrobat 9 as well as
PDF Inspector claim the PDF *<b>NOT</b>* to be PDF/A-1b compliant, because the SVGs
have been embedded wrongly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>During creation a group object with an “S” key
and “Transparency” value is created which is not allowed according
to Chapter 6.4 of the PDF/A specification.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This group is created regardless of the SVGs I inserted.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For test purposes I created a xep file including only the
said SVG (one from a customer and one taken from an SVG sample page), both
creating the wrong output.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Is there anything I can do to configure resp. work around
this issue or is this something that has to be addressed in a new XEP version.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The XEP version used is 4.15 build 20090409.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any input regarding this issue is more than welcome.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Warmest Regards<br>
Christian<o:p></o:p></p>
