Hello there,

Is there any activities which convert a PDF file to a PDF/A-2b version ?

I looked at it but didn’t find anything about it.

I have a serie of PDF files that I want to convert automatically.

I’m working on a Windows project.

Thank you in advance for your help and best wishes.

Hello @ludovic.vetter

It appears that there isn’t a direct activity in UiPath for converting PDFs to the PDF/A-2b format. Instead, you’ll need to use PowerShell or Ghostscript for the conversion. For more details, please refer to the link below.

Hello @pradeep931 thank you for your answer.

The problem is that in my company we cannot install these kind of applications (except Powershell), but on the link you sent they only talk about Ghostscript.

I can’t find anythink about converting PDF with Powershell.

Are there any other possibilities ?

Thank you in advance and have a good day.

Hello,

Maybe could I use the printer “PDFCreator” that is installed on our computer ?

Do printer activities exist ?

Thank you and best wishes.

Hello,

Sorry for my late answer.

I did find a solution with the application PDF24-Toolbox which can be called with a “Start Process” activity and it has personalized commands which converts files to PDF/A-2b.

Best wishes.
