OCRed documents don't convert to PDF/A-2b and PDF/A-3b


i'm using acrobat pro 11.0.06 on osx 10.9.2

 

i not able convert many of scanned , ocred documents either pdf/a-2b or pdf/a-3b.

 

the problem seems use of .notdef-glyphs in acrobat's ocr.

on documents ocr produces .notdef-glyphs (which shouldn't in 2014). glyphs aren't allowed in pdf/a-2 , pdf/a-3 anymore.

there function in preflight pdf/a-presets supposed replace .notdef-glyphs doesn't after all. created custom preflight profile should replace .notdef-glyphs doesn't work!

that's why preflight reconverts every single pdf via postscript, thereby losing ocr-text.

pdf/a-1b still works ocred scans since pdf/a-1 still allows .notdef-glyphs. doesn't allow e.g. jpeg2000!

 

i guess acrobat shouldn't use .notdef-glyphs in it's ocr anymore , should make preflight-function supposed replace them working!

 

i reported problems pdf/a conversions in may 2012 adobe didn't fix anything.
