Method Detail

createValidator

public static PDFAValidator createValidator(PDFAFlavour flavour,
                            boolean logPassedChecks)

Creates a new PDFAValidator instance that uses one of the ValidationProfiles packaged as a core library resource. While these profiles are not guaranteed to be up to date, they are available when offline. A ProfileDirectory populated with the pre-loaded profiles can be obtained by calling Profiles.getVeraProfileDirectory().

Parameters:

flavour - the PDFAFlavour that's associated with the ValidationProfile to used to initialise the PDFAValidator.

logPassedChecks - boolean used to configure logging of passed tests by the PDFAValidator. Pass true to log passed tests, false to only log tests that don't pass.

Returns:

a PDFAValidator instance initialised from the passed parameters

createValidator

public static PDFAValidator createValidator(PDFAFlavour flavour,
                            boolean logPassedChecks,
                            int maxFailures)

Creates a new PDFAValidator instance that uses one of the ValidationProfiles packaged as a core library resource, see createValidator(PDFAFlavour, boolean).

Parameters:

flavour - the PDFAFlavour that's associated with the ValidationProfile to used to initialise the PDFAValidator.

logPassedChecks - boolean used to configure logging of passed tests by the PDFAValidator. Pass true to log passed tests, false to only log tests that don't pass.

maxFailures - an int value that configures the PDFAValidator to abort validation after maxFailures failed tests. If maxFailures is less than 1 then the PDFAValidator will complete the full validation process.

Returns:

a PDFAValidator instance initialised from the passed parameters

createValidator

public static PDFAValidator createValidator(ValidationProfile profile)

Creates a new PDFAValidator initialised with the passed profile and configured NOT to log passed checks.

Parameters:

profile - the ValidationProfile to be enforced by the returned PDFAValidator.

Returns:

a PDFAValidator instance initialised from the passed parameters

createValidator

public static PDFAValidator createValidator(ValidationProfile profile,
                            boolean logPassedChecks)

Creates a new PDFAValidator initialised with the passed profile and chosen passed test logging.

Parameters:

profile - the ValidationProfile to be enforced by the returned PDFAValidator.

logPassedChecks - boolean used to configure logging of passed tests by the PDFAValidator. Pass true to log passed tests, false to only log tests that don't pass.

Returns:

a PDFAValidator instance initialised from the passed parameters

createValidator

public static PDFAValidator createValidator(ValidationProfile profile,
                            int maxFailures)

Creates a new PDFAValidator initialised with the passed profile, requested fast failing behaviour and configured NOT to log passed checks.

Parameters:

profile - the ValidationProfile to be enforced by the returned PDFAValidator.

maxFailures - an int value that configures the PDFAValidator to abort validation after maxFailures failed tests. If maxFailures is less than 1 then the PDFAValidator will complete the full validation process.

Returns:

a PDFAValidator instance initialised from the passed parameters

Creates a new PDFAValidator initialised with the passed profile, chosen passed test logging and requested fast failing behaviour.

Parameters:

profile - the ValidationProfile to be enforced by the returned PDFAValidator.

logPassedChecks - boolean used to configure logging of passed tests by the PDFAValidator. Pass true to log passed tests, false to only log tests that don't pass.
