Creo worker recipe has option to generate PDF Compatibility Save as PDF/A-1.

Do the same option available in Catia worker recipe?

Currently, there is no available configuration or option to achieve this.
I have raised a Product Idea, and it is currently under consideration.

Have you tried opening the .rcp file for Catia and see what options are possible for PDF output?

Your question is not clear.

 

Do you already have a Catia worker configured, or are you considering buying it and, before you, do you want to know if the PDF/A option is available?

Hi @Marco_Tosin,

 

We have catia worker already installed,

I need the catia drawing in PDFA1b Format.

I have checked the catia worker recipe file.

I didnt find any options to set PDF format as PDFA1b

I suggest you open a call to PTC support and ask if what you are asking for is possible or not.

 

It's a very specific thing and I don't think there are many people in the community who can give you an answer although I hope I'm wrong.

You could try changing the PDF configuration of CATIA installed on the worker, like in the screenshot below, although mine doesn't have an option for PDF/A-1, only PDFA1a or b

 

I don't see any options in the Theorem worker recipe but you should ask them because there's often options that can only be configured with the right keyword or properties added to the recipe file manually.

Hi @rhart,

 

I have tried the above option.

But it doesnt work on worker mode.

I have confirmed with theorem and ptc that there is no OOTB Config to achieve the above.

Hello @TDT 

 

Yes! You can generate PDF by Save file option in representation & Annotation.

 

Thanks & Regards
