I've added some more metadata into trunk that makes us more compliant.
The current output from http://www.pdf-tools.com/pdf/validate-pdfa-
online.aspx is:
Validating file "test.pdf" for conformance level pdfa-1a
The key StructTreeRoot is required but missing.
A device-specific color space (DeviceRGB) without an appropriate output intent
is used.
The document does not conform to the requested standard.
The document contains device-specific color spaces.
The document doesn't provide appropriate logical structure information.
Done.

Title:
Generate PDF/A compliant documents
Status in Simple Scan:
Triaged
Status in simple-scan package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
[Impact]
PDF/A [1] is a standard for PDF documents to make them suitable for
archiving. The PDF files that simple-scan produces are PDF compliant, but
missing some optional fields that are required for PDF/A.
[Test Case]
1. Scan a document
2. Save to a PDF file
3. Check document through a PDF validator (e.g. [2])
Expected result:
The generated document is compliant with PDF/A
Observed result:
The document is not compliant.
[Regression potential]
Some risk of PDF changes making files saved from Simple Scan not viewable in
a PDF reader. This seems very low as PDF/A is a very commonly used standard.
