My goal is to covert a pdf into a file that fits the factur-x format. I successfully converted a pdf into pdfA/3-b Here's the code: import subprocess gs_path = r"C:\Program Files\gs\gs10.02.1\bin\gswin64.exe" def convert_to_pdfa(input_path, output_path, pdfa_def_path): command = [ gs_path, "-dPDFA=3", "-dBATCH", "-dNOPAUSE", "-sColorConversionStrategy=UseDeviceIndependentColor", "-sDEVICE=pdfwrite", "-sOutputFile=" + output_path, "-dPDFACompatibilityPolicy=2", pdfa_def_path, input_path ] subprocess.run(command) if __name__ == "__main__": input_pdf_path = "facture.pdf" output_pdfa_path = "output_pdfa.pdf" pdfa_def_path = "PDFA_def.ps" convert_to_pdfa(input_pdf_path, output_pdfa_path, pdfa_def_path) Here's the code in the PDFA_def.ps file: % Define entries in the document Info dictionary : /ICCProfile (sRGB_v4_ICC_preference.icc) def [ /Title (test) /DOCINFO pdfmark % Define an ICC profile : [/_objdef {icc_PDFA} /type /stream /OBJ pdfmark [{icc_PDFA} <</N systemdict /ProcessColorModel get /DeviceGray eq {1} {4} ifelse >> /PUT pdfmark [{icc_PDFA} ICCProfile (r) file /PUT pdfmark % Define the output intent dictionary : [/_objdef {OutputIntent_PDFA} /type /dict /OBJ pdfmark [{OutputIntent_PDFA} << /Type /OutputIntent % Must be so (the standard requires). /S /GTS_PDFA1 % Must be so (the standard requires). /DestOutputProfile {icc_PDFA} % Must be so (see above). /OutputConditionIdentifier (sRGBv4 ICC preference) /PUT pdfmark % Embed XML file: [ /_objdef {InvoiceStream} /type /stream /OBJ pdfmark [ {InvoiceStream} << /Type /EmbeddedFile /Subtype (text/xml) cvn /Params << /ModDate (D:20130121081433+01’00’) >> >> /PUT pdfmark [ {InvoiceStream} (output.xml) (r) file /PUT pdfmark [ {InvoiceStream} /CLOSE pdfmark [ /_objdef {Invoice_FSDict} /type /dict /OBJ pdfmark [ {Invoice_FSDict} << /Type /FileSpec /F (output.xml) /UF (output.xml) /Desc (ZUGFeRD XML invoice) /AFRelationship /Alternative /EF << /F {InvoiceStream} /UF {InvoiceStream} >> >> /PUT pdfmark [ /_objdef {AFArray} /type /array /OBJ pdfmark [ {AFArray} {FSDict} /APPEND pdfmark [ {Catalog} << /AF {AFArray} >> /PUT pdfmark [ /Name (output.xml) /FS {FSDict} /EMBED pdfmark [ /XML ( ... ) /Ext_Metadata pdfmark I followed this tutorial on the zugferd blog When I open the pdf, there's no attached xml file: There is no xml files attached I compared the pdf I rendered with a pdf that follows the factur-x format the pdf I rendered: 46 0 obj <</Type/Metadata /Subtype/XML/Length 1294>>stream <?xpacket begin='' id='W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d'?> <?adobe-xap-filters esc="CRLF"?> <x:xmpmeta xmlns:x='adobe:ns:meta/' x:xmptk='XMP toolkit 2.9.1-13, framework 1.6'> ... </x:xmpmeta> <?xpacket end='w'?> endstream endobj valid pdf: 8 0 obj << /Filter /FlateDecode /Subtype /XML /Type /Metadata /Length 978 >> stream ... binary data ... endstream endobj Continue reading...
