Friends,
I apologize for the cross-posting.
PDF/UA is now a US National Standard in addition to an ISO specification. This new US edition is available directly from AIIM for $15. AIIM Professional members may download it for free.

The document's no more readable than before (it's the same highly technical content as the ISO original)… but it is much cheaper!
All the best,

ISO standards, with very few exceptions, are not free.
