EVO HTML to PDF converter generates PDF documents compliant with PDF 1.4 standard. The documents respecting this standard can be correctly displayed by Adobe Reader 5.0 and the later versions.

When the PdfStandardSubset property of the PdfConverter..::..PdfDocumentOptions object is set with the appropriate value, the converter can generate PDF documents compliant with PDF/A or PDF/X standards. The Document class has the Document..::..Document(PdfStandardSubset) constructor which allows you to create documents compliant with PDF/A or PDF/X standards.

These standards impose additional restrictions for the generated PDF document. For example, the PDF/A-1b standard, used for long-term archiving of PDF documents, requires that all the true type fonts used by the document to be embedded in the document, the HTTP links to be disabled, the document to not use transparent objects and the document information properties to be disabled.
