Determining PDF/A compliancy using the web service API

The following C# code example determines whether the input PDF document is PDF/A-compliant. The input PDF document that is passed to the DocConverter service is named Loan.pdf. Validation results are written to an XML file named ValidationResults.xml. (See Programmatically Determining PDF/A Compliancy.)

 * Ensure that you create a .NET client assembly that uses

 * base64 encoding. This is required to populate a BLOB

 * object with data or retrieve data from a BLOB object.

 * For information, see "Invoking LiveCycle ES using Base64 Encoding"

 * in Programming with LiveCycle ES
