Abstract

In the context of long-term archival of digital assets, file formats that are standardized and designed for longevity such as PDF/A are preferred. However, due to the complexity of and ambiguities in PDF standards, it is far from trivial to either create standard-conformant files or check the conformance of any given file. This study investigates the challenges when checking real-world PDF files from public sector organizations meant for long-term archival for PDF/A conformance. Results show that only a small set of PDF files claims to conform to the PDF/A-1b specification variant and even fewer files pass conformance checks by various conformance checking tools. Challenges for conformance checking tools include both ambiguities in the standards’ technical specifications and limitations in the implementation.

实现与文件标准的一致性
在对数字资产进行长期归档的情况下,首选标准化并为长期使用而设计的文件格式,如PDF/A。然而,由于PDF标准的复杂性和模糊性,创建符合标准的文件或检查任何给定文件的一致性绝非易事。这项研究调查了在检查公共部门组织的真实世界PDF文件时所面临的挑战,这些文件旨在长期存档以确保PDF/A的一致性。结果显示,只有一小部分PDF文件声称符合PDF/a-1b规范变体,通过各种一致性检查工具进行一致性检查的文件更少。一致性检查工具面临的挑战包括标准技术规范中的模糊性和实施中的局限性。
