Thanks Luigi for the hint to that paper.
Unfortuantely the project has been done with mkii… that’s why I would like to know if it’s possible to produce a PDF/A compliant file with ConTeXt mkii.

By the way, is there an easy way to check whether a PDF file is PDF/A compliant?

Best regards: OK

afaik there is only and experimental extension of pdftex that used with latex can make pdf/a-1a (tagged pdf) -- but i'm not sure.

But pdf/a-1b are different (not tagged) so you can use ghostscript, even if it's not easy.

Here an article by C: Beccari for xelatex
