(In reply to comment #0) > The customer reports and I've verified the the PDF/A file generated by > Ghostscript from the input PDF does not pass Adobe Acrobat 10.1.0 preflight. > Earlier versions of Ghostsript, including 9.01 and 9.02 generate PDF/A files > that pass. I cannot reproduce this, at least not under Windows. I'm using the latest copy of the master code, freshly cleaned and built, and a Windows version of the supplied command line (ie exactly the same but using gswin32c instead of gs). The file produced validates happily as PDF/A-1b in Acrobat 9 and also on the same website as shown in the JPEG above. > Note that the generated file never passes PDF/A-1a nor PDF/A-2a, b, or u > compliance verification, but the output file is PDF/A-1b compliant with 9.01 > and 9.02 Currently we do not support PDF/A-1a nor any flavour of PDF/A-2.

Preliminary patch
Examining the PDF files supplied by the customer I can see the fault, and I *may* see what is causing it, though I'm puzzled as to why it isn't a problem on Windows.
I'm running a regression test for safety, but I think the attached patch will probably fix the problem. However, since it won't go wrong for me in the first place, it would be very useful if someone who can reproduce the problem would try it and let me know if it solves the validation error.
