PDF/UA-1 rule 7.9-1: ID key of the Note tag is not present

Not fixed automatically structure, note

What veraPDF reports

ID key of the Note tag is not present

veraPDF rule 7.9-1 = ISO 14289-1:2014 clause 7.9, test 1, checked on PDF object SENote.

What the requirement says

Note tag shall have ID entry

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

The document needs a correct tag tree (structure). The reliable way is to export from the authoring application with “tagged PDF” / “document structure tags for accessibility” enabled; otherwise the tags are corrected in a PDF editor.
