PdfAValidatorApi

PdfAValidatorApi wraps calls to VeraPdf in a .net standard assembly and as WebApi. Access VeraPdf from your unit tests or integrate it into your micro architecture.

Install it using nuget package PdfAValidatorApi:

dotnet add package PdfAValidator

Sample - e.g. use it in your unit test to check compliance of some pdf:

public static async Task ShouldDetectCompliantPdfA()
{
    using var pdfAValidator = new PdfAValidator();
    Assert.True(File.Exists("./TestPdfFiles/FromLibreOffice.pdf"));
    var result = await pdfAValidator.ValidateAsync("./TestPdfFiles/FromLibreOffice.pdf");
    Assert.True(result);
}

Sample - e.g. use it in your unit test to check the used sub standard of some pdf:

public static async Task ShouldGetDetailedReportFromPdfA()
{
    using var pdfAValidator = new PdfAValidator();
    Assert.True(File.Exists("./TestPdfFiles/FromLibreOffice.pdf"));
    var result = await pdfAValidator.ValidateWithDetailedReportAsync("./TestPdfFiles/FromLibreOffice.pdf");
    Assert.True(result.Jobs.Job.ValidationReport.IsCompliant);
    Assert.True(result.Jobs.Job.ValidationReport.ProfileName == "PDF/A-1A validation profile");
}
