Dear Everyone,
     I have a problem - use iText to convert PDF files to PDF-X/PDF-A files, is it possible?

It’s possible, but it’s a  LOT of work.  There is nothing built into iText to do this…

No, that's not possible.
I've tried to convert a PDF file to PDF/A-1a with Acrobat and
EVEN Acrobat wasn't able to do this correctly in all cases
(although the result was very close to what I needed).

You're not looking for a free product such as iText,
you're looking for an expensive product!

I had a report in plain PDF with the following text:

PRESENT:
F. Lloyd Wright, R. Piano, A. Rossi,
R. Koolhaas, B. Van Reeth, S. Beel,
B. Lowagie

I converted this PDF to PDF-1a with Acrobat.
Acrobat assumed that "PRESENT" and "F. Lloyd
Wright, R. Piano, A. Rossi," were P(aragraphs).
The other two lines were tagged as a list with
labels "R." and "B." ;-)

I don't complain about this: all in all, I was
very pleased with the result.

I'm just given this example to show the OP that
it's extremely difficult to convert a PDF without
any structure to a PDF with structure without
human intervention.

That's also what common sense tells us.

Amit,

According to the "Adobe Supplement to the ISO 32000", section 8.8.1:

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&ved=0CAsQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.adobe.com%2Fdevnet%2Facrobat%2Fpdfs%2Fadobe_supplement_iso32000.pdf

you need a Measure dictionary of Subtype GEO to create a geospatial PDF.   There's no Measure dictionary in the PDF you provided.

Although it's Java-specific, you may find the context in this archived iText discussion helpful:

It would be much more reasonable to aim for PDF/A-1b.  The 'b' requirements are significantly easier to achieve with some random PDF file.

 

iText still won't do it for you, but it becomes a job an expert could accomplish.

You've marked "UserProperties" as "false".  It needs to be true.

I think we need to add direct support for the UserProperties flag in PdfWriter.  I'll get it.

He didn't necessary say PDF/A-1a (which, as you note, requires tagging).  He could just as easily make PDF/A-1b.
