Summary

Is it possible the native PDF export to export in PDF/A format?

Solution

Added in 11.4.3
By setting the PDFExportProperties to value "ExportAs_PDF_A" you can export the drawing as PDF/A

PDF/A is an ISO-standardized version of the Portable Document Format (PDF) specialized for use in the archiving and long-term preservation of electronic documents.

Note that Layers and object urls are not exported in PDF/A due to its specificsations.
Also all text style font characters are embeded as glyph blocks, in case the export is done with "DrawTextAsSelected"

Also a checkbox "PDF/A" is added to the printer properties form if selected printer is VectorDraw PDF.
