We write a software that create PDF files. How we can check if the resulting pdf files are PDF/A compatible? Are there any test suite for it available?

A list of PDF/A validators is on the pdfa.org web site here:
A free online PDF/A validator is available here:
A report on the accuracy of many of these PDF/A validators is available from PDFLib:
Se as well:
Do you have Adobe PDFL or Acrobat Professional? You can use preflight operation if you do.
If you download the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader, it will tell you if your pdf is PDF/A compliant. Just open the PDF file and a big blue marking should appear.
OpenOffice supports PDF/A. For some reason "PDF/A-1" is called
"SelectPdfVersion"internally in OpenOffice. Just add 1 to that value and your output should be PDF/A.
The different values can be
0 = PDFXNONE
1 = PDFX1A2001
2 = PDFX32002
3 = PDFA1A
4 = PDFA1B
You set
FilterDatato be a
HashMap('SelectPdfVersion',1) //1 for PDFX1A2001
