             Summary: DisplayDocTitle true for accessible PDFs even when PDF/UA 
is not enabled
                 Key: FOP-3152
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-3152
             Project: FOP
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: renderer/pdf
    Affects Versions: 2.9
            Reporter: Juhani Laiho


I noticed that the document title check fails in Acrobat Pro accessibility 
checker when [accessibility element is 
true|https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/2.9/accessibility.html#Enabling-accessibility]
 in fop.xconf but [pdf-ua-mode 
element|https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/2.9/accessibility.html#fop-xconf] is 
omitted. When, in addition to setting accessibility to true, I include 
pdf-ua-mode in fop.xconf with the value PDF/UA-1, the Acrobat Pro check passes. 

Based on comparing the decoded original PDF and a decoded PDF fixed by Acrobat 
Pro, the difference in failing and passing lies in the inclusion of 
DisplayDocTitle (with value true). [WCAG 2.1 technique page 
PDF18|https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/pdf/PDF18] supports this 
conclusion.

Is setting DisplayDocTitle to true tied to PDF/UA mode instead of accessibility 
in general on purpose? If not, could DisplayDocTitle be true whenever 
accessibility is enabled? My thinking is that some might not target PDF/UA 
compliance but would like to minimize the failures in accessibility checks 
nevertheless.

Source files that are relevant in this to my understanding:
fop-core/src/main/java/org/apache/fop/pdf/PDFRoot.java
fop-core/src/test/java/org/apache/fop/pdf/PDFUATestCase.java
