Validation of local PDF/A document is up-to-date

This bachelor thesis is focused on the design of a prototype solution, which is primarily intended make current process of validing of a local document easier. The aim of the thesis is to design a prototype solution for detecting the current valid version of a document that is in PDF/A format in the MS SharePoint server environment from a local copy of the document. The methodology used to design a prototype solution is extreme programming. The PDF/A archive format and the MS SharePoint environment are introduced in the text first. Then the chosen methodology is briefly introduced and used on the problem. Following are the different stages of the lifecycle of the methodology and the resulting deployment of the prototype into a real environment. The penultimate chapter deals with documentation of prototype development. The last chapter is dedicated to user guides. The benefit of this work lies in making it much easier to detect the current version of a document placed on the SharePoint data repository from its local copy, with minimal changes made by document makers.
