What the validator failed, and what was done

RuleveraPDF descriptionBeforeAfterAction
5-1The PDF/UA version and conformance level of a file shall be specified using the PDF/UA Identification extension schema10Wrote the pdfuaid:part=1 identifier into the XMP packet - only after every other rule passed, so the claim is true.
7.1-3Content shall be marked as Artifact or tagged as real content1850Untagged content was inspected operator by operator: every item was a path-painting operator (table rules, borders, fills), none was text. Each was wrapped as an Artifact so assistive technology skips it. No text was artifacted.
7.1-10The document catalog dictionary shall include a ViewerPreferences dictionary containing a DisplayDocTitle key, whose value shall be true10Set ViewerPreferences/DisplayDocTitle so the title bar shows the document title, not the file name.
7.5-1If the table's structure is not determinable via Headers and IDs, then structure elements of type TH shall have a Scope attribute30Header cells received a Scope attribute: Column for cells in a table's first row, Row for header cells that lead a later row.
7.21.4.2-2If the FontDescriptor dictionary of an embedded CID font contains a CIDSet stream, then it shall identify all CIDs which are present in the font program, regardless of whether a CID in the font is referenced or used by the PDF or not10The embedded font's optional CIDSet stream under-declared the glyphs actually used. The stream was removed; it is optional in PDF and carries no rendering information, so nothing changes visually.

Language: the failure the validator cannot see

A validator checks that a language is declared. It cannot tell whether the declared language matches the text. This document declared: en-US on the document and en-US on 1 element. It now declares es on the document, and the language was set on every element from its own text: 37 elements marked Spanish, 37 marked English, 1 stale declaration removed so the element inherits correctly.

Title: DHS-3182-ENG → Programas de Atención Médica de Minnesota (DHS-3182-SPA), and the viewer is set to display it.

Findings

The whole document declared one language: English.

The file carried a single /Lang of en-US on the document, and every element inherited it. A screen reader therefore pronounced the Spanish text with English rules. The document language is now Spanish and 37 elements that are genuinely English are marked en-US individually, so both languages are voiced correctly.

Pages 3 and 4 of the Spanish edition are in English.

The translation stops partway through page 2. The asset-limit, MNsure and 'How can I apply?' sections that follow are the English text. This is a content defect in the published file, not a tagging defect; the report marks those passages en-US so they are at least read intelligibly, and the issuer should be told.

The Spanish file carried the English title.

Document title was 'DHS-3182-ENG'. It is now the Spanish title with the form number, and the viewer is told to display it.

Pages 5 to 8 (the multilingual language-assistance notice) have no text layer.

Those pages are drawn as vector outlines. Page 5 is exposed as a single Figure whose alternate text is the English notice only; pages 6 to 8 are marked as artifacts, so a screen reader hears nothing on them. This pass does not repair that - it needs the source text for each language, either a re-export from InDesign or the notice typed into alternate text per language. Quoted separately.

Rendering

All 8 pages render pixel-identical to the published file at 100 dpi. Nothing visible changed.

Not covered by this pass

A PASS from veraPDF means the file has no machine-detectable defect against ISO 14289-1. It does not by itself mean the document is usable; the findings above are the part a validator cannot judge, and they are why a human pass exists.
