Bug #: 45636
Summary: : supporting of PDF/UA
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.4.5 release
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Status Whiteboard: BSA
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: PDF export
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
I do not have a bug, but I have a future request. In our discussion group
accessibility I was advised to use this bug-report. If it is the wrong place
I'm sorry.
I'm from the Netherlands. For websites the government in the Netherlands
follows the accessibility guidelines from the W3C, the Web Content Accessibiliy
Guidelines (WCAG). There are 3 levels of compliance and we will follow level
AA. Also have we extended these guidelines with a number of extra rules.
Together they form the Web Guidelines (Webrichtlijnen in Dutch).
According to these Web Guidelines, government sites are obliged to offer their
documents in an open and accessible format. For now the possibilities of
LibreOffice in exporting a file are sufficient: you have to export it to
PDF/A-1a. In the near futere it will be necessary to use a new subversion of
PDF, PDF/UA (Universal Accessibility). PDF/UA is more accessible than PDF/A-1a.
More about this format you can read on ow.ly/8RxcQ.
I am curious if new versions of LibreOffice will make it possible to export
files to PDF/UA. If LibreOffice is going to support this format, it will make a
huge difference when LibreOffice is compared to other office suites. And it
wil be must easier to promote LibreOffice to be used by government
organizations.
I'm seeing forward for your answer
Kind regards, Jaap van de Putte
