Method Detail

fixMetadata

MetadataFixerResult fixMetadata(InputStream toFix,
                                OutputStream outputRepaired,
                                ValidationResult result)
                         throws IOException

Parameters:

toFix - an InputStream from which the PDF/A data to repair can be read.

outputRepaired - an OutputStream to which the Fixer instance should write the repaired PDF/A data.

result - a ValidationResult instance for the PDF/A to be repaired, the toFix InputStream.

Returns:

a MetadataFixerResult that holds the repair status and records any fixes applied.

Throws:

IOException

fixMetadata

MetadataFixerResult fixMetadata(PDFAParser parser,
                                OutputStream outputRepaired,
                                ValidationResult result)

Parameters:

parser - a veraPDF PDFAParser instance that has parsed the PDF/A to repair.

outputRepaired - an OutputStream to which the Fixer instance should write the repaired PDF/A data.

result - a ValidationResult instance for the PDF/A to be repaired, the toFix InputStream.

Returns:

a MetadataFixerResult that holds the repair status and records any fixes applied.
