Re: achieving PDF/UA compliance

As a rule I don't believe any accessibility conformance statement I didn't write myself, although I would trust them from some of the people in this forum. Very few stand up to any scrutiny. That said, if a PDF passes an automated PDF/UA check, it's usually a good sign because you can't pass it by accident. It requires a lot of good design and/or remediation, so whoever did it probably know what they were doing.

PDF/UA conformance doesn't mean that the document is accessible, but the likelihood is it's far more accessible than most.
