Hello Carlos,


Is it possible to make the exported PDF "PDF/A" compliant? As I read tcpdf supports this option.

Here is one example: http://www.tcpdf.org/examples/example_065.phps

i thinks it could be, but

you can tell what's the advantage (or disadvantage) of that? , difference between pdf/a to common pdf ?

In short...PDF/A ensures reliable access to PDF documents, making PDF ideal for long-term archiving. In many companies it is a requirement.

Here is the info from PDF Association and Wikipedia:

Thanks for the explanation,  there is some restrictions that must be tested.
if there is any issues i will make  this a default,  if any, it can be an option !


The main tests are:

  • Open type fonts supports, for  languages with special chars (Russian, Japanese ...)
  • Transparency, could be an issue (i think it's not)
  • Digital signature,  it's planned to be support this in 2.3 version

I will put this in git hub as an improvement.

Hi Carlos,

In my case, my teachers need to upload learner's certificates to an internal system, Is it possible to have both the student AND the teacher emailed the certificate when the student finishes a course? 

I know that the teacher can log into moodle to find the certificate, but it would be great if they could have the certificate delivered to their inbox...

Thanks,

Peter.

Hi Carlos,

It appears that Lachlan-00 has proposed some code for sending PDFs to teachers (thanks Lachlan!) in https://github.com/bozoh/moodle-mod_simplecertificate/pull/133 , will this code be rolled into the plugin?
