Convert to PDF/A

This module uses the DevExpress PDF Document API (the PdfDocumentConverter class) to convert PDF files to PDF/A format. You can process the sample file or supply your own document. To do the latter, select Upload a File from the file selection drop-down menu.

Use the Convert to... dropdown button to select the compatibility level (PDF/A-1b, PDF/A-2b, or PDF/A-3b), convert the document, and download the result.

using DevExpress.Pdf;

IReadOnlyList<Stream> ConvertToCompatible(Stream documentStream, PdfCompatibility compatibilityLevel) {
    using var converter = new PdfDocumentConverter(documentStream);

    var outputStream = new MemoryStream();
    var reportStream = new MemoryStream();
    var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(reportStream);

    converter.Convert(compatibilityLevel);
    converter.SaveDocument(outputStream);

    streamWriter.WriteLine($"Conversion Status : {converter.ConversionReport.ConversionStatus}");
    if(converter.ConversionReport.Issues.Any()) {
        streamWriter.WriteLine("Found Issues :");
        streamWriter.Write(string.Join("\r\n", converter.ConversionReport.Issues.Select(x => $"{x.Severity} : {x.Message}")));
    }

    streamWriter.Flush();

    reportStream.Position = 0;
    outputStream.Position = 0;

    return new List<Stream> { outputStream, reportStream };
