Metadata PDF/UA
This example shows two things. First, it demonstrates how to generate PDF metadata directly from HTML <meta> elements. This works out-of-the-box with all converters. Some converters all you to specify the metadata through their API or through commandline parameters. Second, the example demonstrates how to generate a PDF with UA (universal accesiblity) profile (support for screen readers). Only Antennahouse, PDFreactor and PrinceXML support the PDF/UA profile as an optional conversion option. This is usually combined with the inclusion of tagged content which is usually named a tagged PDF.
Check the Makefile in the Github repository (link above) for investigating the related commandline parameters for PDF/UA and tagged PDF.
We used the PAC Checker (https://www.access-for-all.ch/ch/pdf-werkstatt/pdf-accessibility-checker-pac.html) for checking PDF/UA compliance.
