[LTER-im] NSF Public Access Repository

[Mary Martin]

Have any IM's handled the uploads for the new NSF-PAR reporting 
requirement? The first report from the latest HBR renewal is coming
up, and it's our first time uploading to this system. So far, our 
experience is that PDFs direct from the publisher do not comply with the
required PDA/A format (NSF rejects uploads), and that Adobe Pro 
conversion to PDF/A either fails, or when it succeeds, the output will 
not upload to NSF-PAR.
In theory, Adobe Pro would allow you to batch convert all of the pubs 
that you have lined up for the report. I know that there are other 
options, but
the Adobe solution would be the most straight-forward, and I'm eager to 
hear if others have managed to get this to work, and if so, what's the 
secret??
