package.
Version number: 1.5.8
License type: lppl
Summary description: PDF/X-1a and PDF/A-1b support for pdfTeX
Announcement text:
This is a significant update. 1. fixes a bug when used with LuaLaTeX — now works with older versions as well as the 2016 version of LuaLaTeX. 2. can work also with XeLaTeX — consult the main documentation for the required command-line, and a discussion of the limitations. 3. page-size metadata corresponds to the MediaBox size. 4. now supports Multilingual Metadata, using legacy 8-bit encodings (Latin1–Latin9, KOI8-R, and some others). 5. supports Metadata given as a transliteration; e.g. LGR for Greek and OT6 for Armenian by providing a conversion into UTF-8. This also allows proper bookmarks with these transliterations. 6. various smaller improvements. The documentation gives comprehensive instructions on how to easily obtain relevant metadata from existing documents, and how to include it to obtain a validating PDF/A or other conforming document. It includes examples using various languages.
