PDFlib TET 3
TET 3 offers a variety of new features, including raster image and table extraction, XML output, a new Cookbook, and a number of TET connectors to interface TET with other software. Various new workarounds make it possible to extract the text from PDF documents where this was previously not possible, e.g. some PDFs generated with the TeX typesetting system.
TETML represents PDF contents in XML. TET optionally represents the PDF contents in an XML flavor called TETML . It contains a variety of PDF information in a form which can easily be processed with common XML tools. TETML contains the actual text plus optionally font and position information, resource details (fonts, images, colorspaces), and metadata.

A PDF/A validator is a tool which checks whether or not a document conforms to the PDF/A standard. PDFlib GmbH conducted a comprehensive test of PDF/A validation tools.
After conducting the Bavaria tests we can certainly say that the status of PDF/A validation is considerably better than in the early days, and the Isartor test suite and PDF/A TechNotes have significantly influenced the quality of validation.
While the Bavaria report reveals shortcomings in the current product generation, we hope to contribute to further improvements and to help vendors of validation tools to enhance the accuracy of their products.
