Hello,

I would like to use pdf/A-2a for my documents and was wondering whether the documents will stand up to validation.
I used veraPDF for the validation check.

Unfortunately the a-variants (pdf/A1-a and pdf/A-2a) fail.
Here the Validation Information:


   Validation information

*Rule*  *Status*
Specification: ISO 19005-2:2011, Clause: 6.7.3.3, Test number: 1 <https://github.com/veraPDF/veraPDF-validation-profiles/wiki/PDFA-Parts-2-and-3-rules#rule-6733-1> The logical structure of the conforming file shall be described by a structure hierarchy rooted in the StructTreeRoot entry of the document's Catalog dictionary, as described in ISO 32000-1:2008, 14.7 **Failed**

CosDocument

MarkInfo dictionary is not present in the document catalog, or Marked entry is set to false or is not present in the MarkInfo dictionary (MarkInfo = null, Marked = null)

        


See the (shortened) minimal example taken from the wiki below.

Does anyone have any experience or advice on how to make pdf/A-2a valid?

Greetings Thomas
