This solution contains projects used to transform email files (currently EML or MBOX) into archival PDF files that conform to the EA-PDF specification as output. The EA-PDF specification (not yet published) describes standard archival PDF files that are designed for long-term preservation of emails, including content, metadata, attachments, and source files. All EA-PDF files are also archival PDF/A files, either PDF/A-3 (ISO 19005-3:2012, PDF 1.7) or PDF/A-4 (ISO 19005-4:2020, PDF 2.0).
The EA-PDF specification is being developed by the PDF Association in partnership with the Library of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and others. Development is being funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), grant number LG-250129-OLS-21.
This solution consists of three projects:
- Class Library (EaPdf)
- Console Application (EaPdfCmd)
- Unit and Integrations Tests (TestEaPdf)
Refer to the README.md file in the EaPdfCmd project for more information on how to use the tool.
Also note that the most of the sample emails used in the tests are not currently included in the code repository. For the time being you will need to substitute your own sample emails for testing purposes.
