PDF/UA-1 rule reference › clause 7.2
May be fixed when the cause is a missing document language lang, metadata
Natural language for document metadata cannot be determined
veraPDF rule 7.2-33 = ISO 14289-1:2014 clause 7.2, test 33, checked on PDF object XMPLangAlt.
Natural language for document metadata shall be determined
Set the document language (and the language of passages in other languages) in the authoring application before export; the PDF then carries a /Lang entry that screen readers use.
Upload the PDF: veraPDF lists every failed PDF/UA-1 rule, our fix runs, and veraPDF checks the fixed file again — you see “N failed rules before → M after” before deciding. The fixed file costs 19 € (excl. VAT); the check is free. We never call a file “accessible” or “compliant”.
