Generate PDF/A in Ruby on Rails
I'm trying to generate PDF/A compliant documents in a ruby on rails app. After some research ghostscript seems to be the prefered method, but i'm searching for a free alternative.
The PDF must come from a html template and keep it styling. For this i use wicked pdf or pandoc-ruby with wkhtmltopdf as the backend. But after searching i couldn't find a way do generate a PDF/A via wkhtmltopdf.
I managed to Generate a PDF/A with pandoc-ruby using a latex template with the pdfx package, but it don't preserve the styling. And i can't use wkhtmltopdf in this method because it doesn't use latex as backend.
There is a way to keep both the PDF/A specification and the styling of the document?
