Symptoms

During the export of a PDF/UA-compliant PDF using FineReader Engine 12, the following error occurs:

"EnablePDFUACompliance format is not compatible with the following parameters: WriteTaggedPDF, WriteXmpMetadata."

Cause

This issue happens because the PDF/UA-compliant PDF should always be tagged and have XMP metadata.

Resolution

EnablePDFUACompliance property of PDFExportFeatures Object (is FALSE by default) specifies whether the output PDF file is compliant with the PDF/UA International Standard. This property can be set to TRUE only if WriteTaggedPDF and WriteXmpMetadata properties are set to TSPV_Yes.
