Thanks, but it didn't work either. I tried \usepackaga{hyperref}, then latex + dvips + distiller, and then Acrobat preflight gives me these errors: Author mismatch between Document Info and XMP Metadata Keyword mismatch between Document Info and XMP Metadata Subject mismatch between Document Info

No, it still doesn't work (either through pdflatex or dvips + ps2pdf or dvips + distiller). If I follow your instructions literally, using pdflatex, opening in Acrobat and saving as PDF/A, Acrobat complains and tells me to use preflight first. I do so, but this time (from the pdflatex generated fi

Hi. I do not have a particular preference for PDF/A, but unfortunately my university requires electronic thesis submissions to be in PDF/A. After seeing that even a minimalistic latex document seems to be impossible to convert to PDF/A, and realizing that there is no consistency among PDF/A "valid
