--- Comment #6 from Christophe Strobbe <[email protected]> --- Hi Miha, Does the law explicitly reference the PDF/UA standards (ISO 14289-1:2014 and/or ISO 14289-2:2024) as standards to which all PDF documents must conform? Or is this just what a monitoring institution requires? I'm asking because I have seen a monitoring institution for the Web Accessibility Directive in the EU check PDF documents with PAC without knowing that many of the issues flagged by PAC are a waste of time to fix. In fact, the previous version of PAC even flagged links without a text alternative because ISO 14289-1:2014 required that links have a text alternative. Duff Johnson, one of the co-authors of PDF/UA, later admitted on Twitter that this was an error in the PDF/UA standard. So if the ISO standard is not in the law, please demand evidence that the issues that are reported have a real impact on users. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
