EU Accessibility Act (EAA) / BFSR BarrierefreiheitsGesetz - Generate PDF/UA from HTML

[Rollo62 579]

Hi there,

I’d like to ask if anyone here has experience working with A11y (accessibility):
https://www.bmas.de/DE/Service/Gesetze-und-Gesetzesvorhaben/barrierefreiheitsstaerkungsgesetz.html
https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/policies/justice-and-fundamental-rights/disability/union-equality-strategy-rights-persons-disabilities-2021-2030/european-accessibility-act_en
 

This also concerns PDF files, such as data sheets, catalogs, EU declarations of conformity, and so on.
PDFs are not accessible by default; there is PDF/UA for that, and PAC is a good testing tool.
https://pac.pdf-accessibility.org
 

I’m specifically facing the issue that I generate pages in HTML and then convert them to PDF.
However, the PDF/UA-relevant entries are often lost during this conversion.
 

Has anyone experienced similar problems with HTML-to-PDF conversion? Maybe there are good tips and/or tools for this process?

Yes, I could generate PDFs directly with Delphi, but that would require a complete overhaul in so many places that I’m hoping it can also work with HTML.

I’ve also cross-posted this in the DE-DelphiPraxis.

I've just tested some documents my app generates, and they are all rated as Taygetos+.

Everything has to be compliant in just 3 weeks, great, thank you @Rollo62.
