Introduction
PDF/A is a special topic not much can be found about, so we have covered the creation of PDF/A documents our recent blog post. Sometimes you may need to check whether the PDF document already uses PDF/A standard, and we’ll show how you can get this done using Apitron PDF Kit for .NET component.
Code sample (C#)
staticvoid Main(string[] args)
{
using (Stream fileStream = File.Open("../../Data/document.pdf",FileMode.Open))
{
using (FixedDocument doc = newFixedDocument(fileStream))
{
// PdfStandard property can be used to check whether the document
// uses PDFA standard. It will return PDfStandard.Default if the
// doc doesn't use PDFA or PdfStandard.PDFA if it does.
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Document uses '{0}' standard",
Enum.GetName(typeof(PdfStandard),doc.PdfStandard)));
}
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
The output is shown below:
