PDF: Verify PDF document

In This Topic

The SDK allows to verify that PDF document conforms the following PDF specifications:

PDF/A-1b (ISO 19005-1)
PDF/A-2b (ISO 19005-2)
PDF/A-3b (ISO 19005-3)

Here is an example that demonstrates how to verify a PDF document to conformance with PDF/A-1b specification:

VB.NET

' The project, which uses this code, must have references to the following assemblies:
' - Vintasoft.Imaging.Pdf

''' <summary>
''' Verifies a PDF document to conformance with PDF/A-1b specification.
''' </summary>
''' <param name="pdfFilename">The filename of PDF document.</param>
Public Shared Sub VerifyDocumentToPdfA1b(pdfFilename As String)
    Dim verifier As New Vintasoft.Imaging.Pdf.Processing.PdfA.PdfA1bVerifier()
    System.Console.WriteLine("Verification...")
    If verifier.Verify(pdfFilename) Then
        System.Console.WriteLine("Document conforms to PDF/A-1b.")
    Else
        System.Console.WriteLine("Document does not conform to PDF/A-1b.")
    End If
End Sub

// The project, which uses this code, must have references to the following assemblies:
// - Vintasoft.Imaging.Pdf

/// <summary>
/// Verifies a PDF document to conformance with PDF/A-1b specification.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="pdfFilename">The filename of PDF document.</param>
public static void VerifyDocumentToPdfA1b(string pdfFilename)
{
    Vintasoft.Imaging.Pdf.Processing.PdfA.PdfA1bVerifier verifier = 
        new Vintasoft.Imaging.Pdf.Processing.PdfA.PdfA1bVerifier();
    System.Console.WriteLine("Verification...");
    if (verifier.Verify(pdfFilename))
        System.Console.WriteLine("Document conforms to PDF/A-1b.");
    else
        System.Console.WriteLine("Document does not conform to PDF/A-1b.");
}

Here is an example that demonstrates how to verify a PDF document to conformance with PDF/A-1b specification and show the detailed result of verification:

        ' clear the count of important trigger activations
        _verifyActivatedTriggerCount = 0

        ' execute the verification
        Dim result As Vintasoft.Imaging.Processing.VerificationProfileResult = verifier.Verify(pdfFilename, processingState)

        ' output the verification result

        System.Console.WriteLine("finished.")
        If result.IsPassed Then
            System.Console.WriteLine("Document conforms to PDF/A-1b.")
        Else
