PDF/UA-1 rule 7.2-24: Natural language in the Contents entry for annotations cannot be determined

May be fixed when the cause is a missing document language lang, annotation, structure

What veraPDF reports

Natural language in the Contents entry for annotations cannot be determined

veraPDF rule 7.2-24 = ISO 14289-1:2014 clause 7.2, test 24, checked on PDF object PDAnnot.

What the requirement says

Natural language in the Contents entry for annotations shall be determined

Can it be fixed automatically?

May be fixed when the cause is a missing document language. The fix sets the document language (/Lang) when the file declares none, which lets the language of this text be determined. Not measured for this rule — the free check shows whether it disappears for your file.

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.
