Command-line tool

gopdfrab verify

Name: gopdfrab
Availability: InStock

Check one file, a directory tree, or an arbitrary mix of both for PDF/A-1b conformance.

verify accepts any number of paths. Files are checked directly; directories are walked recursively and every PDF found inside is checked.

terminal

gopdfrab verify docs/                     # verify every PDF under a directory
gopdfrab verify --json report.pdf         # machine-readable output
gopdfrab convert in.pdf out.pdf           # rewrite towards PDF/A-1b
gopdfrab convert --dpi 300 in.pdf         # tune the raster fallback
gopdfrab verify --max-decoded-mb 64 x.pdf # cap decoded stream output at 64 MB
