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.
