Settings for printing into PDFA(1..3)
Hi,
are there any settings like compression or so on printing a document into a PDFA file? I assume not, as riles for PDFA are quite strict.
My use case is to transform PDF into PDF/A abusing Reportbuilder.
I have got a document of about 240 pages / 10MB which explodes into 240MB / 60MB as PDF2A on using reportbuilder.
As far as i examined the result, any page within the original is converted into an image
So I hope there might be an option to improve compression.

File compression is permitted in PDF/A. The issue is likely how PDFium is converting your original PDF to metafile. For most fonts, PDFium will simply draw each character as a vector graphic. It is an unfortunate result of how PDFium works.
For better results, I suggest trying WPViewPDF plugin.
