    We are actively pursuing adding PDF/A support in the next release. Are there any specific PDF/A versions and levels that are required? For example, is Level A (accessible) conformance required?

    At this time, RFEs are English-only. Therefore, IBM has modified some of the information in this request. Please contact us if you have any questions.

    In particular, the Headline and Description in this RFE were translated from German to English. Previously:

    Headline was: "PDF/A Erstellung mit system-i".

    Description was: "Produkt oder Service: Transform Services V7.2 for IBM i 7.2.0 Komponenten-ID: 5770TS100 . Betriebssystem: IBM i (i5/OS / OS/400) . Fehlerbezeichnung PDF/A Erstellung . Problem description and business impact Umwandlung von Druckdateien in PDF funktioniert. Es werden allerdings keine Schriften eingebettet. Ist die Erstellung von PDF/A Dateien mit dieser Software möglich ? Wenn ja , wie erfolgt die Parametrisierung ? Wenn nein, welche Software kann dazu auf IBM-i eingesetzt werden ?"

    Please add an English comment if the translation is not quite accurate.
