PDFAExportSettings Object (Web Services API)
This object provides functionality for configuring the export of recognized text to PDF/A format. The PDFAExportSettings object is a child object of the OutputFormatSettings object and inherits all its properties.
When you save texts that use a non-Latin codepage (say, Cyrillic, Greek, Czech, etc.), ABBYY FineReader Server Open API uses the fonts provided by ParaType company (http://www.paratype.com/store/).
Peculiarities of exporting hieroglyphic languages to PDF/A
You can export hieroglyphic languages to PDF/A in any mode other than PDF Image Only (PDFExportMode = PEM_ImageOnly). For correct depicting of hieroglyphic characters, files for East Asian languages must be installed on all computers where the Processing Station component is installed.
When exporting to PDF/A, the following fonts are used:
- for the ChineseTraditional recognition language – the PMingLiU font and the MingLiU monospace font;
- for the ChineseSimplified recognition language – the SimSun font;
- for the Japanese recognition language – the MS PMincho font and the MS Mincho monospace font;
- for the Korean recognition language – the Batang font and the BatangChe monospace font.
