    Hello,

    Please note that generating PDF/A-3 documents using the conversion plugin based on LibreOffice is available since the release of phpdocx 14.0 (https://www.phpdocx.com/news/post/phpdocx-v14-release-notes/229). We recommend you update to the latest version available and check the macros-libreoffice folder included the package to know how to add macros to the conversion plugin based on LibreOffice (in this same folder you can find all available macros).

    Regards.

    so upgrading to v14 will allow me to generate PDF/A3 with embeded xml file inside it, right?

    Thanks

    Hello,

    Enabling the pdfa3 option (with the macro included in the package) with phpdocx 14 and newer releases, uses PDF/A-3b (PDF/A, ISO 19005) included in LibreOffice. This adds XML information to the PDF output such as:

    <</Type/Metadata/Subtype/XML/Length 5350>>

    Also note that all macros can be customized when being added to your installation if you want to add extra settings when using it.

    i need on call of transformDocument when i set the docx file to transform to set a specific xml file path -i build already- or an xml file content to embed in the created pdf, so on attach different xml file, so in each call of transformDocument i will embed different custom xml with different structure and values.

    Hello,

    Sorry, but the current stable version of phpdocx doesn't include any method or option to embed an XML content to a PDF. Using the conversion plugin based on LibreOffice with the pdfa3 option, generates an internal XML into the PDF output, but a custom XML can't be added.

    Regards.
