PDF/UA-1 rule 7.11-1: The file specification dictionary for an embedded file does not contain either F or UF key or at least one of the keys is empty

Not fixed automatically syntax

What veraPDF reports

The file specification dictionary for an embedded file does not contain either F or UF key or at least one of the keys is empty (F = %1, UF = %2)

veraPDF rule 7.11-1 = ISO 14289-1:2014 clause 7.11, test 1, checked on PDF object CosFileSpecification.

What the requirement says

The file specification dictionary for an embedded file shall contain the non-empty F and UF keys

Can it be fixed automatically?

Not fixed automatically. This failure needs the authoring tool or manual remediation; the automatic fix does not change it.

How to fix it by hand

This is a low-level PDF syntax requirement; it is usually fixed by exporting the file again with a current PDF producer or by saving it through a PDF editor.
