I use gs8.62 to create PDFA files with Chinese characters and truetype fonts, but the files are not compliant with PDF/A-1b. I use acrobat 8.0 as verifier for PDF/A-1b which says "Type 2 CID font: CIDToGIDMap invalid or missing".
The command line is: gswin32c -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sProcessColorModel=DeviceCMYK -dPDFA - dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOOUTERSAVE -dUseCIEColor - sOutputFile="%2" PDFA_def.ps %1
Firstly 8.62 is now a year old, I'd recommend you get 8.64 and try that, there have been some changes for PDF/A support. Secondly while the command line is useful, a sample file is essential for us to reproduce the problem. Please attach an example file exhibiting the problem.

I tried 8.64 release, but the same command can't be executed, the error message is: While reading gs_res.ps: Error: /rangecheck in --getinterval-- Operand stack: (gs_res.ps) (C:\\PDFAMaker\\gs8.64\\Resource) () 0 1 Execution stack: %interp_exit --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- %array_c ontinue --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %sto pped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- %array_continu e --nostringval-- Dictionary stack: --dict:776/1123(G)-- --dict:62/200(L)-- --dict:776/1123(G)-- --dict:165 /251(G)-- --dict:776/1123(G)-- --dict:23/40(ro)(G)-- Current file position is 11413 Unrecoverable error: undefined in .uninstallpagedevice Operand stack: gs_res.ps C:\PDFAMaker\gs8.64\Resource 0 1 In addtion, I found the directory structure for 8.64 are quite different with 8.62. It has no fonts directory, Resource directory is not present under gs8.64. I copied the resource directory from source, but has no effect. the command line is: C:\PDFAMaker\gs8.64\bin\gswin32c -IC:\PDFAMaker\gs8.64\lib;C:\PDFAM aker\gs8.64\Resource;C:\PDFAMaker\gs8.64\Resource\Init;C:\PDFAMaker\fonts;D:\WIN DOWS\fonts -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sProcessColorModel=DeviceCMYK -sColorSpace=Default RGB -dPDFA -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOOUTERSAVE -dUseCIECol or -sOutputFile="c:/test.pdf" PDFA_def.ps c:/test.ps
8.64 has the resources defined by default in a ROM file system, which is why they seem to have 'disappeared'. Your application is invoking GS with specific locations using the -I switch: -IC:\PDFAMaker\gs8.64\lib;C:\PDFAMaker\gs8.64\Resource;C:\PDFAMaker\gs8.64\Resource\Init; You can still do this, but you need to ensure all the correct files are in the correct locations. These files are still available in the source release, because this is what's used to build the ROM file system for the binary. You should either remove the -I switch, or provide teh complete set of resources from the source release. The file does run through my 8.64 installation, but does still fail the Acrobat 9 preflight check for PDF/A-1b.
