- All fonts that are used in PDF/A documents should be embedded.
- The PDF/A-1b and PDF/A-2b standards do not support attachments.
- The PDF/A-1b standard does not support transparency, and the alpha channel in images will be ignored.
To check the validity of PDF export options, use the PdfExportOptions.Validate method that returns a list of any detected inconsistencies.
