Hi all,
First I'm sorry for my english.
I create pdf documents with itext (pdf/A-1a).
I use adobe professional 8 preflight tool to validate these documents.
I generate a very simple pdf/A-1a document (1 short sentence) with markInfo, font embedded,... but without tags.
When i use preflight tool, preflight tells me that the document is compliant with the requirements of pdf/a-1a, but this one isn't tagged (if i well understand the pdf/A-1a requirements) !
I have use the accessibility check tool, who gave me the following result : "This document is not structured so the reading order may not be correct".
I don't know how to interpret these results (does preflight tool check tags ?).
Thanks for your answers
The results you see are what you should see given the characteristics of your files.
You are generating a standards-compliant document, which is checked by the preflight process. Accessibility looks for an entirely different set of compliance features, hence the message. The message simply means that since the structure of the file is undefined, reading order is not evaluated to see if it is correct.
Preflight does not check tag structures.
