Hi,
I was able to produce valid PDF/A 1a (not only 1b) for very simple documents.
You may use this as a hint for further evaluation.

this.writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(this.doc, out);
this.writer.setPDFXConformance(PdfWriter.PDFA1B);
   
doc.open();
try {
 // Do PDF/A support
 PdfDictionary outi = new PdfDictionary(PdfName.OUTPUTINTENT);
 outi.put(PdfName.OUTPUTCONDITIONIDENTIFIER, new PdfString("sRGB IEC61966-2.1"));
 outi.put(PdfName.INFO, new PdfString("sRGB IEC61966-2.1"));
 outi.put(PdfName.S, PdfName.GTS_PDFA1);
 ICC_Profile icc = ICC_Profile.getInstance(this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/srgb.profile"));
 PdfICCBased ib = new PdfICCBased(icc);
 ib.remove(PdfName.ALTERNATE);
 outi.put(PdfName.DESTOUTPUTPROFILE, this.writer.addToBody(ib).getIndirectReference());
 this.writer.getExtraCatalog().put(PdfName.OUTPUTINTENTS, new PdfArray(outi));
 PdfDictionary markInfo = new PdfDictionary(PdfName.MARKINFO);
 markInfo.put(PdfName.MARKED, new PdfString("true"));
 this.writer.getExtraCatalog().put(PdfName.MARKINFO, markInfo);
} catch (IOException e) {
 getErrorLogger().error("Problem reading resource", e);
}

This was mostly done by Paolo, only the MarkInfo part was added by me.

Good luck
Elmar
