What the validator failed, and what was done

RuleveraPDF descriptionBeforeAfterAction
7.1-3Content shall be marked as Artifact or tagged as real content3910Untagged 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.
7.4.2-1For documents that are not strongly structured, as described in ISO 32000-1:2008, 14.8.4.3.5, heading tags shall be used as follows: (*) If any heading tags are used, H1 shall be the first. (*) A document may use more than one instance of any specific tag level. For example, a tag level may be repeated if document content requires it. (*) If document semantics require a descending sequence of headers, such a sequence shall proceed in strict numerical order and shall not skip an intervening heading level. (*) A document may increment its heading sequence without restarting at H1 if document semantics require it10A heading that jumped a level (H1 to H3) was set to the level the outline implies (H2). Heading text was not changed.
7.10-1Each optional content configuration dictionary that forms the value of the D key, or that is an element in the array that forms the value of the Configs key in the OCProperties dictionary, shall contain the Name key10The optional-content configuration received a Name.
7.10-2The AS key shall not appear in any optional content configuration dictionary10The optional-content configuration's AS (usage application) array was removed, as PDF/UA requires.
7.18.1-2An annotation (except Widget annotations or hidden annotations, or those having rectangle outside the crop-box) shall have either Contents key or an Alt entry in the enclosing structure element20Every Link annotation received a Contents entry: the visible link text under the link rectangle, or the destination URL where no text sits under it.
7.18.5-2Links shall contain an alternate description via their Contents key as described in ISO 32000-1:2008, 14.9.320Same fix as 7.18.1-2: a Contents entry on every Link annotation.
7.21.8-1A PDF/UA compliant document shall not contain a reference to the .notdef glyph from any of the text showing operators, regardless of text rendering mode, in any content stream40Text strings referenced glyph 0 (.notdef). The producer had used that glyph as a word space, and it draws a box on screen. Each occurrence was replaced by a positioning adjustment equal to the glyph's declared advance, so every word keeps its exact position and only the box disappears.

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: es-ES on the document and en-US on 8 elements. It now declares es on the document, and the language was set on every element from its own text: 477 elements marked Spanish, 14 marked English, 8 stale declarations removed so the element inherits correctly.

Title: DHS-4740-SPA (Formulario de solicitud y renovación del Programa de planificación familiar de Minnesota (MFPP)) → Formulario de solicitud y renovación del Programa de planificación familiar de Minnesota, MFPP (DHS-4740-SPA), and the viewer is set to display it.

Findings

The published file already claimed PDF/UA-1 conformance.

Its XMP carried pdfuaid:part=1 while veraPDF reported 7 failed rules and 402 failed checks.

A missing glyph was being used as a word space.

On pages 11, 12 and 16 the producer emitted glyph 0 of MyriadPro between words. On screen it draws a small box ('algunos▯de los'); to a screen reader it is U+FFFD, the replacement character. Each was replaced by a positioning adjustment of the same width: the words keep their positions, the box is gone, and the gap is read as a space.

Element-level language contradicted the document.

Fourteen elements carried en-US against a document language of es-ES. They are English proper nouns (agency names, the English form title in parentheses) and stay en-US; 477 Spanish elements now carry es explicitly.

Untagged form graphics.

391 path-painting operators were outside the tag tree and are now artifacts. No text was untagged.

Rendering

19 of 22 pages render pixel-identical to the published file at 100 dpi. The remaining pages differ only where a missing-glyph box was removed: page 11 (77 px), page 12 (110 px), page 16 (155 px). Word positions are unchanged; the difference is the outline of the box itself.

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.
