oXygen XML editor and PDF/UA?

Has anyone used the oXygen XML authoring tool to create documents and,
specifically, PDF documents?

I am working with a colleague using the oXygen editor to create training
materials, product documentation, etc. While we can export to ePub and
XHTML formats with all the relevant accessibility markup included, we
cannot seem to get the PDF export to include the same accessibility
information (headings, image descriptions, etc).

We are using the Apache FOP print formatter to output the PDF documents
and, supposedly, it will support PDF/UA specification. We have reviewed the
online instructions, but can't seem to get the PDF output with the
appropriate markup (
https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/2.1/accessibility.html).

Thanks for any information you can share.

Take care,
Sean
