Interface ValidationResult

public interface ValidationResult

Created as the result of validating a PDF/A document against a ValidationProfile. The class encapsulates the following information:

• a boolean flag indicating whether the PDF/A document validated complied with ValidationProfile.
• the PDFAFlavour of the profile used to validate the PDF/A document.
• a Set of TestAssertions representing the results of performing individual tests.

A particular ValidationResult instance is not guaranteed to carry all of the information generated during validation. While the isCompliant() value MUST reflect the result of validation, individual validator implementations are not obliged to record all, or any individual TestAssertions. Such implementations may choose to only record failed tests, or may be configured to abort validation after a so many failed tests.
