Hi,

We are required to create PDF files that are compliant with the PDF/A-1a format. We are using third party software to create those documents and most validators on the web confirm the output is PDF/A compliant.

However, our documents are being rejected because the embedded fonts are PFB (Printer Font Binary) fonts as opposed to PFA (Printer Font ASCII) fonts. The fonts are supplied by our IBM i and not by the third party software. We are only using Helvetica and Helvetica-Bold.

I have tried searching the web for using PFA fonts on an iseries, but have not been able to find anything. Does anyone here know if this is possible and if so, how? Or maybe someone can point me in the direction of documentation related to this subject (I did find information explaining PFA and PFB in general, but nothing related to IBM i).


Regards,
Erwin Donker
