            .extension("pdf")
            .mediaType("pdf")
            .storeProperty(DocumentFamily.TEXT, "FilterData", pdfOptions)

            .unmodifiable(false)
            .build();
}

Could you, please, help me with that?

OpenOffice does not support pdf reading. The way how it is could be possible to convert pdf using external libs into docx\html, then convert it into pdf/a using OpenOffice.
