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 content160Untagged 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.
7.18.1-2An 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 element250Every 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, 14.9.3250Same fix as 7.18.1-2: a Contents entry on every Link annotation.
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: 66 elements marked Spanish, 50 marked English, 1 stale declaration removed so the element inherits correctly.

Findings

A bilingual poster with a single language declaration.

Page 1 is English and page 2 is Spanish, but the file declared en-US for everything. 66 Spanish elements are now marked es and 50 English elements en-US; the document-level language is Spanish because it carries the larger share of the text.

Twenty-five links with no description.

Every link annotation lacked a Contents entry, so assistive technology announced them with no name. Each now carries the visible link text, or the destination URL where the link sits on no text.

Untagged rules and borders.

Sixteen path-painting operators (table rules and dividers) were outside any tag. They were marked as artifacts. No text was outside the tag tree.

Rendering

All 2 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.
