Can I convert an XFA form ( static / dynamic and generated using LifeCycle) to PDFA 1b ?

Does the standard allow conversion of XFA forms ?

Acrobat currently is unable to apply any fixup on the XFA form as permissions of "Changing the document" are set to "not allowed"

Does anyone know of any way to change those permissions

Dear Viny,

I think you will have to ask the creator fo the XFA fork to unock the form, such that changes to the form are then allowed.

Companies like Adobe [though I do not and cannot speak on behalf of Adobe] as well as my own company callas software tend to have a strict policy on protection mechanisms – somebody decided to protect the form against changes, so it seems that person did not want others to change the document (a conversion to some other format like PDF/A-1b is a kind of change). Any mechanism that "unprotects" the form is circumventing a protection mechanism. Such circumvention is against the law in the USA, in the EU and probably a lot of other countries, this even "if we could" we woudln't.

According to the law its correct sir.

 

I m introducing my self as siva. Recently PDF Association has released in oct 2012 about the pdf/A-3 standards. already we are complaing PDF/A. what are the specifications that i need to provide to my pdf file to make it as pdf/A-3 complaiance and how can i check whether it is complaing to that standards or not?

Adding to the above i want to make my pdf files to support to PDF 1.7 support. I am trying to get more information on this versions. Any kind of help on manuals with specifications, algorithms, colour profiles are welcome.

 

Thanks in advance.
