1. Re: Unable to create PDF/A from InDesign
Stix Hart May 12, 2009 8:38 PM (in response to picarcyr)You say 'I'm trying to create PDF/A document from InDesign CS4 with Adobe Acrobat 9.' This might be your problem, you need to export from Indesign, File>Export then choose PDF from the file type and it brings up a PDF dialogue box in which you can change a lot of settings.

picarcyr May 13, 2009 12:32 AM (in response to Stix Hart)Hello Steve,
Thank for your reply, but it's not possible to create PDF/A-1a directly from InDesign.
You need to create your PDF from InDesign and after to transforme your PDF to PDF/A-1a from Acrobat.

Stix Hart May 13, 2009 12:35 AM (in response to picarcyr)Doh! And I thought I was reading your post carefully... Just a
suggestion, you've obviously tries all the other types of PDF that you can
export to see if that makes a difference? PDF X etc

picarcyr May 13, 2009 5:22 AM (in response to P Spier)Hi,
On Acrobat, I receive this message :
PDF document is not compliant with PDF/A-1a (2005)
- Structured PDF : Type entry in a structure element not "StructElem"
- Structured PDF : Type entry missing
I'm not able to create PDF/A-1a from InDesign's PDF files.
Do you have already create PDF/A-1a from InDesign ?
Thanks.

P Spier May 13, 2009 5:58 AM (in response to picarcyr)I have not created PDF/A files. Are you saying Acrobat's preflight conversion is not working?
OK I see that's exactly what you are saying. I'd suggest you move this to the Acrobat forum.

P Spier May 13, 2009 6:48 AM (in response to picarcyr)I've come across something else. You may be able to PRINT to PDF\A rather than export. In the print dialog click the setup button, then go to the PDF Printer preferences and choose the standard from the default settings dropdown.

picarcyr May 13, 2009 7:28 AM (in response to P Spier)Peter,
You may found PDF/A-1b, but nothing from InDesign to create directly PDF/A-1a.
Actually, you may create the PDF from InDesign, and after transform it with Acrobat.
But, I have some errors with the Preeflight and I don't know why.
Maybe you could try with a sample document from InDesign (only 1 line, you create your PDF, and you test the Preeflight from Acrobat).
Thanks again for your time.
Cyril.

I've exhaausted everything I can think of. You REALLY need to move to the Acrobat forum to get more help from the Acrobat gurus.
