[jira] [Closed] (PDFBOX-5102) PDF/A validation only works on PDF/A-1 versions

["Tilman Hausherr (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5102?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Tilman Hausherr closed PDFBOX-5102.
-----------------------------------
    Resolution: Not A Bug

Closing this one; it is unlikely that we expand this
- it's never been a topic
- it's a lot of work
- PDFBox is focused on processing PDFs, even very bad ones, this is something a conflict with the intention on detecting perfect PDFs
- The definition-based approach that VeraPDF has is better than ours, they can easily expand.
