This is Kaden from the Apryse Support Team – I’ve forwarded your request to our Solution Engineering team so that they may help you to evaluate your options when it comes to PDF/X & PDF/E in regard to the SDKs offered by Apryse. They’ll be in touch!
Thanks,

While the Apryse SDK can create PDF/X it requires very low level control and doesn’t include and automatic validation. However, we do have some options that fit a little better, iText and PDFLib.
Both of these solutions allow for the generation of PDF/X documents with conformance to standard. You can find these SDKs at the following links:
While these tools do support PDF/X generation workflows, they do not include any direct conversion or validation support. You can create such tools and checks with the API’s offered through iText but that would require custom implementation.
As for PDF/E we do not support that at this time.
If you’re able to run me through a quick summary of your overall use case, I would love to direct you to some more applicable documentation!
Apologies I may have misspoke a little in my previous response. While Apryse SDK does not have any features built to support PDF/X or PDF/E, our low level API can be used to build such features. You can find more information about the low level PDF API here: Low-Level PDF Editing (COS/SDF API) in Server/Desktop | Apryse documentation.
With these API’s you could theoretically create any PDF tool you wish with the low level manipulation. As for the other products I recommended (iText and PDFLib), these are also SDK’s that fall under the Apryse umbrella, though similar to the Apryse SDK they would require licensing. These products do have some form of existing support for PDF/X.
You also mentioned an additional purchase, are you currently an existing Apryse SDK customer?
