Custom tags in PDF/A1a report (tagged document).

[phnxck]

 Hi All,

I have to prepare some reports that are compliant with PDF/A1a level. I need to create custom tags. In general the difference between PDF/A1b and PDF/A1a is that the second one is 'tagged'. There are some standard tags like Paragraphs or Lists but there should also be a possibility to write own, custom tags. And here is the question, how can I achieve this using JasperReports or iReport?

The farest I made is to set some extra parameters for the exporter:

 

exporter.setParameter(JRPdfExporterParameter.PDFA_CONFORMANCE, JRPdfExporterParameter.PDFA_CONFORMANCE_1A);

exporter.setParameter(JRPdfExporterParameter.IS_TAGGED, Boolean.TRUE);

exporter.setParameter(JRPdfExporterParameter.PDFA_ICC_PROFILE_PATH, ICC_PROFILE);

 

I have completely no idea how to mark some fileds in the report with my custom tags. Please help.

I have the exact same question. I know you can add tags such as "h1" by defining a property "net.sf.jasperreports.export.pdf.tag.h1" as "null" ... but I'd like to add custom properties as well.

Anyone?

Kind regards,
