    -mode

    (Merge only)

    For PDF output, generate files in PDF/A (Archive format), or PDF/UA (Accessibility format).

    The PDF/UA accessibility format feature is available under only specific licensing arrangements. Modes PDF/A-1, PDF/A-1b, PDF/A-3, and PDF/A-3b became available as of 3.1.001.25.

    Syntax

    -mode PDF/A|PDF/A-1|PDF/A-1b|PDF/UA|PDF/A-3|PDF/A-3b

    Description

    These modes cause all fonts to be embedded in the PDF file, so files will likely be larger.

    These options may be necessary for compliance with certain standards. Many of the PDF/A and PDF/UA requirements additionally require that the form be designed or tagged in a specific way. That must be done and verified by the form designer.

    • -mode PDF/A creates a PDF/A compliant output document (Archive format).

    Equivalent to PDF/A-1 and PDF/A-1b.

    • -mode PDF/A-3 or PDF/A-3b are base PDF/A compliant and allow embedded/included files as well.

    Use the Merge -attachment option to attach files.

    • -mode PDF/UA (as of 3.0.003.22) creates a PDF/UA compliant document (Accessibility format).

    Form objects that do not have an explicit TagAs setting will be automatically tagged.
