This beta release features command line interface enhancements

Features

  • Command line:
  • processes stdin if no file paths are supplied for use in *nix pipes;
  • directory and recursive sub-directory processing; and
  • text mode output with summarised output

Fixes

  • Command line fixes:
  • all CLI output for a single file now in one XML document; and
  • error output now all to stderr, keeping stdin clean;

Version 0.8 (December 22 2015)

This beta release features a command line interface for validation and feature extraction, with supporting install scripts.

Features

  • Refactored plug-in architecture.
  • Re-designed command line interface for PDF/A validation and feature reporting.
  • Updated validation profile syntax.
  • Simplified machine-readable report format.
  • Bug fixes for:
  • comparison of Info dictionary and XMP metadata (PDF/A-1);
  • support for missing resources and resource inheritance mechanism (PDF/A-1); and
  • parsing TrueType fonts with zero-length tables.
  • Synchronization with PDFBox 2.0 RC1 library.

Infrastructure

  • Installer adds command line scripts.
  • Refactored integration tests.

Test corpus

Version 0.6 (October 30, 2015)

This beta release includes a fully functional, internally-tested implementation for complete PDF/A-1b validation, PDF Feature Report generation, and the Metadata Fixer.

Features

  • Stable (beta version) implementation of the formal PDF model for PDF/A-1b
  • Prototype the formal PDF model for PDF/A-1a and PDF/A-2b, 3b

  • Optimized performance for PDF/A font rules validation (glyphs presence, widths consistency)

Infrastructure

  • Added cross-platform installer
  • Full coverage of Bavaria, Isartor, veraPDF test suites in automated integration tests

Test corpus

  • New test files for the use of Device colour spaces and XMP metadata
  • 200 new atomic test files for PDF/A-1b extending Isartor and Bavaria test suites

Version 0.4 (September 16, 2015)

The release includes a fully functional implementation (alpha version) for the complete PDF/A-1B validation and the PDF Feature Report generation

Features

  • A number of bug fixes in the implementation of the formal PDF model for PDF/A Level B validation
  • Added missing validation rules for the full coverage of ISO 19005-1:2005, 19005-1:2005/Cor.1:2011, 19005-1:2005/Cor.1:2007, 19005-1:2005/Cor.2:2011, Level B
  • Complete implementation of the PDF Feature Report generation
  • Minor improvements in the GUI and the Human-readable Report in HTML format
  • Added extra parameters to limit the number of rule failures and the number of reported errors
  • Optimized performance

Infrastructure

  • Increased unit test coverage to 70%
  • Increased the number of atomic validation tests to 226, including the full coverage of tests against Isartor test corpus

Test corpus

  • Total 176 atomic test files for PDF/A-1B extending Isartor test suite

Version 0.2 (July 15, 2015)

The release includes a fully functional prototype for the PDF/A-1b validation and the PDF Feature Report generation

Features

  • The formal PDF model for PDF/A Level B validation
