From iTextSharp mail list, I got a great news, iText and iTextSharp support PDF/A-1 now.
I’ve added support for PDF/A-1 and is available in the iText SVN and the iTextSharp CVS. An example:
example for java:
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, new FileOutputStream("C:\\hello_A1-b.pdf"));
writer.setPDFXConformance(PdfWriter.PDFA1B);
doc.open();
PdfDictionary outi = new PdfDictionary(PdfName.OUTPUTINTENT);
outi.put(PdfName.OUTPUTCONDITIONIDENTIFIER, new PdfString("sRGB IEC61966-2.1"));
outi.put(PdfName.INFO, new PdfString("sRGB IEC61966-2.1"));
outi.put(PdfName.S, PdfName.GTS_PDFA1);
ICC_Profile icc = ICC_Profile.getInstance(new FileInputStream("c:\\srgb.profile"));
PdfICCBased ib = new PdfICCBased(icc);
ib.remove(PdfName.ALTERNATE);
outi.put(PdfName.DESTOUTPUTPROFILE, writer.addToBody(ib).getIndirectReference());
writer.getExtraCatalog().put(PdfName.OUTPUTINTENTS, new PdfArray(outi));
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont("c:\\windows\\fonts\\arial.ttf", BaseFont.WINANSI, true);
Font f = new Font(bf, 12);
doc.add(new Paragraph("hello", f));
writer.createXmpMetadata();
doc.close();
And for C#:
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream("C:\\hello_A1-b_cs.pdf", FileMode.Create));
writer.PDFXConformance = PdfWriter.PDFA1B;
doc.Open();
PdfDictionary outi = new PdfDictionary(PdfName.OUTPUTINTENT);
outi.Put(PdfName.OUTPUTCONDITIONIDENTIFIER, new PdfString("sRGB IEC61966-2.1"));
outi.Put(PdfName.INFO, new PdfString("sRGB IEC61966-2.1"));
outi.Put(PdfName.S, PdfName.GTS_PDFA1);
ICC_Profile icc = ICC_Profile.GetInstance("c:\\srgb.profile");
PdfICCBased ib = new PdfICCBased(icc);
ib.Remove(PdfName.ALTERNATE);
outi.Put(PdfName.DESTOUTPUTPROFILE, writer.AddToBody(ib).IndirectReference);
writer.ExtraCatalog.Put(PdfName.OUTPUTINTENTS, new PdfArray(outi));
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.CreateFont("c:\\windows\\fonts\\arial.ttf", BaseFont.WINANSI, true);
Font f = new Font(bf, 12);
doc.Add(new Paragraph("hello", f));
writer.CreateXmpMetadata();
doc.Close();
