lpdf_extract = create PDFdocextractor
lpdf_doc = create PDFdocument
long ll_return
boolean lb_standard
PDFstandard lpdf_standard,lpdf_getstandard
lpdf_extract.open( "import\standard_1b.pdf")
//Gets the standard of the document
lpdf_getstandard = lpdf_extract.getstandard( )
lpdf_standard = pdfa_3u!
//Checks whether the standard of the document is compatible with pdfa_3u!
lb_standard = lpdf_extract.isstandardcompatible( lpdf_standard)
lpdf_extract.close( )
if lb_standard then
lpdf_doc.importpdf( "import\standard_1b.pdf")
ll_return = lpdf_doc.save("D:\save\getstandards_real.pdf",lpdf_standard)
