acharles No problem00:02.01 
can-of-bees ray_laptop: hey, thank you!00:53.13 
  sorry, i was away from the irc window for a bit.00:53.33 
  if it's in the XML metadata on the pdf, would something like exifTool be able to get at it?00:54.13 
  apologies for the questions and thank you for your time00:54.26 
ray_laptop can-of-bees: sorry, I was away.02:07.09 
  exiftool seems to be oriented toward image formats. PDF/A is *NOT* an image format. It is essentially a full fledged PDF file, constrained to avoid some common problems that make it unsuitable for "archive" (missing fonts and other "external" resources), so it is self contained02:08.51 
  can-of-bees: I added -dDumpXML to toolbin/pdf_info.ps in case you are interested. Since it spews to stdout, you can then feed it to grep/awk whatever to look for clues about PDF/A etc.03:27.54 
  can-of-bees: you can get it from: http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=user/ray/ghostpdl.git;a=commitdiff;h=7deb29743a2d539b23b0ad8809ccec21f4f47c0c03:28.06 
kens can-of-bees You cannot trust the declared version of a PDF file. Many tools have been seen to modify the PDF file, use features from a later version of the PDF specification, and not update the PDF version.07:54.32 
  The /Version in the catalog dictionary of the Root entry is much more reliable, but is only present from version 1.4 onwards07:56.41 
  and even there it is optional07:57.10 
can-of-bees whoops - thanks kens and ray_laptop for the feedback and good information. 14:25.39

sebras tor8 (for the logs): shouldn't something depend on the build.xml make target?18:52.54 
  also why is the version code 11000? I'm guessing it is correct and i just don't know the background.18:53.48 
  tor8: oh and the trick for $X in the script was nice. why have I never thought of that one?!18:56.06 
  tor8: all of it lgtm, obviously.18:56.20 
  since nothing depends on build.xml I had to make build.xml && make to have it build.18:58.22
