Description

I would like to create a PDF which have both a PDF/A and PDF/UA profile active.

It seems validators do not accept the generated property :

 <rdf:Description xmlns:pdfuaid="http://www.aiim.org/pdfua/ns/id/" rdf:about="">
    <pdfuaid:part>1</pdfuaid:part>
</rdf:Description> 

So maybe the issue is not with FOP but with the compatibility of the two standards or with the validators.

Do you have any clues about it?

I tried a few configurations, for example : 

 

<renderer mime="application/pdf">	   	  
  <pdf-ua-mode>PDF/UA-1</pdf-ua-mode>
  <pdf-a-mode>PDF/A-1a</pdf-a-mode>      	  
  <version>1.4</version>			
  ...	   
</renderer> 

Or 

<renderer mime="application/pdf">	   	  
  <pdf-ua-mode>PDF/UA-1</pdf-ua-mode>
  <pdf-a-mode>PDF/A-2a</pdf-a-mode>      	  
  <version>1.7</version>			
  ...	   
</renderer> 

The PDF/UA validation succeds (I tried https://check.axes4.com/en/),

but the PDF/A validation fails (I tried adobe and  https://avepdf.com/en/pdfa-validation  ), with this error : 

 
XMP property pdfuaid:part not defined in current schema.

 

Thanks in advance.
