The open-source rendering libraries used, from JasperReports, currently do not support PDF/A-2, see https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/jasperreports/issues/200

Supporting PDF/A-2 therefore implies implementing its support in jasperreports, or using a different print software.

Jasper uses Itext, which supports PDF/a-2 in its latest version 7 , however jasperreports seems to use an old Itext Version, however as of https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/jasperreports/commit/ac62341b1003da00229d379c838118c02f132f23 Jasper moved to openpdf, however openpdf seems to be based on Itext 2 and not support PDF/a-2 yet.
