Defining PDF/A Format in The Print Program

The document outlines how to define the PDF/A format in a print program by setting the PDF standard in the <PDFNORM> field of the IE_OUTPUTPARAMS parameter. It lists the available PDF standards and their corresponding constants, including PDF/A-1, PDF/A-1b, PDF/A-2b, and PDF/A-3b. Additionally, it mentions the option to activate PDF/A output using a Business Add-In (BAdI) for archiving scenarios.

Defining PDF/A Format in the Print


Program
Make the following settings for the PDF/A format that you want to use.

Define the PDF Standard

You can set the PDF standard for generating PDF documents in the <PDFNORM> field of parameter
IE_OUTPUTPARAMS (structure <SFPOUTPUTPARAMS>) in function module FP_JOB_OPEN.

The possible fixed values are provided by static attributes of the interface IF_FP_PDF_NORM:

Table 1: Defining the PDF Standard in the Print Program

Format Constant Value

PDF/A-1 IF_FP_PDF_NORM=>PDF_A1 PDF/A-1

PDF/A-1b IF_FP_PDF_NORM=>PDF_A1B PDF/A-1B

PDF/A-2b IF_FP_PDF_NORM=>PDF_A2B PDF/A-2B

PDF/A-3b IF_FP_PDF_NORM=>PDF_A3B PDF/A-3B

PDF IF_FP_PDF_NORM=>PDF PDF

System default IF_FP_PDF_NORM=>DEFAULT System default

Note
PDF/A-1 output (feature: cl_fp_feature_test=>gc_render_pdfa1) is always generated with the ICC
color profile RGB as OutputIntent.

Note
The formats PDF/A-1b, PDF/A-2b, PDF/A-3b (feature: cl_fp_feature_test=> gc_pdfa_ext) are
generated with ICC color profile sRGB as OutputIntent.

PDF/A Output Using BAdI


For "Archiving" and "Printing and Archiving" scenarios, you can also activate the PDF/A output by using a BAdI
(Business Add-In). The relevant enhancement spot and BAdI definition are called
FP_EXTENSION_PDF_GENERATION. The interface IF_BADI_FP_EXT_PDF_GENERATION provides the
method SET_PDF_NORM_FOR_ARCHIVING for this purpose.
