Not fixed automaticallyannotation
What veraPDF reports
A PrinterMark annotation is included in logical structure
veraPDF rule 7.18.8-1 = ISO 14289-1:2014 clause 7.18.8, test 1, checked on PDF object PDPrinterMarkAnnot.
What the requirement says
PrinterMark annotations, if present, shall be considered Incidental Artifacts, as if they are hidden page elements as defined in ISO 32000-1:2008, 14.8.2.2.3
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
Links, comments and form fields must be in the tag tree (Link, Annot, Form tags). Export as tagged PDF from the authoring tool, or let a PDF editor tag the annotations, then check the result.
