PDF/A Output

Post by ryadav »

I am writing my thesis in LyX that includes chapters from different files. Each file contains lots of graphics.

I want to generate PDF/A output, but can't convert. It also tried converting to DVI, PS but nothing works.

Please advice a solution.


Thanks
Rajeev

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi Rajeev,

welcome to the board!
You could use the pdfx package, it helps to create PDF/X-1a and PFD/A-1b compliant pdf documents with pdfLaTeX, I assume you can work with this package also with LyX which uses pdfLaTeX.

Perhaps tell us the error message here.

Use of \getTZh doesn't match its definition
\expandafter\convertDate\pdfcreationdate

If you say, e.g., `\def\a1{...}', then you must always
put `1' after `\a', since control sequence names are
made up of letters only. The macro here has not been
followed by the required stuff, so I'm ignoring it.

Latex Error: MIssinf \begin"document|
pdfTex error (ext5) cannot open file for embedding

I am using multiple files and compile using inset command in main lyx file.
