The verdict of the validator on the machine-checkable rules of PDF/UA-1, and no more than that: whether an alternative text describes its image or the reading order makes sense is not something a validator decides.

standardstring

Possible values: [PDF/UA-1]

checkstring

Possible values: [strict, report]

conformantboolean

The file passed every rule the validator checks. Only then does it carry the PDF/UA identifier.

validatorstring

The validator and its version. Its rule set moves between releases.

Example: veraPDF 1.30.2

rules object

passedinteger

Example: 106

failedinteger

Example: 0

failures object[]

The rules the file failed, at most 20.

Array [

rulestring

Clause and test number of the rule in veraPDF's PDF/UA-1 profile.

Example: 7.4.2-1

codestring

What in the template the rule is about, where the template check found it. Absent for a rule it has no finding for.

Possible values: [document-title, image-alt, figure-name, heading-order, table-rows, table-cell-empty, masked-text]

countinteger

How many checks of the rule failed.

messagestring

What to change in the template, else the validator's own description of the rule.

Example: This h3 follows an h1, so a heading level is skipped. Make it an h2 and size it with CSS.

elementsstring[]

The start tags of the elements concerned, at most five.

Example: ["<h3>"]

]

warnings object[]

What a reader will stumble over although no rule fails for it.

Array [

elementsstring[]

Start tags, or the text itself for running-text and generated-text; at most five.
