A Data Quality Control/Component by PDF Tools AG

The 3-Heights™ PDF Validator verifies if PDF documents conform to the PDF Reference or to the new international standard for long-term electronic archiving: PDF/A.

The PDF Validator can determine if a PDF document or an entire PDF archive is PDF/A compliant. If you’re converting a TIFF archive into PDF/A, the Validator provides the optimal quality assurance check that can be built directly into your conversion process. Individual company requirements beyond the PDF/A standard can also be verified during the analysis process.

The 3-Heights™ PDF Validator supports a comprehensive validation and verification process:
- Validate PDF documents in accordance with any of the following standards and specifications: PDF/A-1a, PDF/A-1b, PDF Reference 1.x
- Analyze for all occurrences of non-conformance in a document, or stop after the first occurrence
- Create an output list of all conforming files
- Create an output list of all non-conforming files, listing the non-conformances

PDF Tools AG can also custom build the tool to verify conformance with documentation rules according to your own corporate standards, for example:
- all images must be between 300-600 dpi
- define a list of approved fonts
- define a list of approved scanners
- define a list of non-approved PDF Creators
- verify against a list of approved digital signatures
- ensure that specific metadata has been included

The 3-Heights™ PDF Validator SDK is a software development kit that can be used via COM API to support VB, .NET, Delphi, C/C++ etc. applications. Interfaces for Java and native C are also available.
