VeraPDF now supports PDF/UA verification:

~/verapdf/verapdf --format xml --flavour ua1 /tmp/test.pdf  > /tmp/out.xml

We should fix the problems that it finds with our PDFs, I suspect that this will also help with the problems that Adobe finds.

This means at least:

  • Adding the Primary language
  • Mark Figure's as Artifacts
  • Adding alt text to Figure's (we might not need to if we mark them as artifact)
  • Define language for text blocks
  • Potentially indicate the reading order?

The natural language for text blocks could be determined from the hOCR lang attributes, perhaps
