Description Rastislav Machel 2024-06-19 15:45:57 UTC

Description:
Exporting to PDF with the option "Archive PDF/A, version PDF/A-1b" will generate a non-compliant PDF/A-1b file.
Compliance is verified using the veraPDF tool available at https://demo.verapdf.org/. 
(veraPDF greenfield foundry instance. v1.26.1; verapdf-rest v1.26.1 5/24/2024 5:12:00 PM).
Exporting with the "version PDF/A-2b" and "version PDF/A-3b" options generates matching PDF files.
Exporting to PDF/A with the "version PDF/A-1b" option works fine in LibreOffice 7.6.7.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install LibreOffice 24.2.4.2 (or probably any of the 24.2.x series)
2. open demo files (attached) and export to PDF/A with option "version PDF/A-1b"
3. open exported file in verification/validation tool https://demo.verapdf.org/ and run validation process

Actual Results:
non-conformant PDF/A-1b exported file

Expected Results:
compliant PDF/A-1b exported file


Reproducible: Always
