PDF/A specifies a standardized subset of PDF for long-term preservation and archiving of PDF documents. · Table formatting: new table formatter which automatically places rows and columns, and splits tables across multiple pages. · 3D animations: 3D animations in the U3D format can be embedded in the PDF output. Actions can be defined to interact with 3D animations · AES algorithm: PDFlib supports 128-bit encryption with the AES algorithm (Advanced Encryption Standard) · Integrated pCOS: PDFlib+PDI now includes the pCOS 2.0 interface. It can be used to query arbitrary properties of an existing PDF document via a simple path syntax. · XMP metadata: PDFlib automatically creates XMP metadata from document info fields. · XMP extension schemas for PDF/A-1 with full validation · Layers: important for CAD and engineering applications; all layer control features available in PDF 1.5; · Text formatting: automatic multiline formatting; Unicode text, ragged or justified text, arbitrary font changes, multi-line body text or large tables.
