PDF/A-2B validation fails when signing with PFX

PDFCreator PDFCreator English
1

Version 2.5.2 Build 5233

I use PDFCreator to convert a DOCX into a signed PDF with PDF/A-2b enabled.

Using veraPDF 1.4.5 the PDF/A-2B validation with check fails with:
[Specification: ISO 19005-2:2011, Clause: 6.1.12, Test number: 2]
“If DocMDP is present, then the Signature References dictionary (ISO 32000-1:2008, 12.8.1, Table 253) shall not contain the keys DigestLocation, DigestMethod, and DigestValue.”
See: github.com/veraPDF/veraPDF-validation-profiles/wiki/PDFA-Parts-2-and-3-rules#rule-6112-2

Would be nice if this could be fixed in a future version.

Thx,
Daniel
