Document Metadata

What this test checks

This test checks if the PDF document has required metadata as per PDF/UA requirements — namely the PDF/UA marker and a valid title.

Why this maybe a barrier

Correct document metadata signals basic identification and conformance to PDF/UA standards. A document confirming to PDF/UA should have the marker present and a valid title.

WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion

N.A (PDF/UA-only check)

PDF/UA Principle

Section 7.1: General — For the implementation, the test uses the following Matterhorn protocol checkpoints namely:

1. 06-001 — Document does not contain an XMP metadata stream.
2. 06-001 — The XMP metadata stream in the Catalog dictionary does not include the PDF/UA identifier.
3. 06-003 — XMP metadata stream does not contain dc:title.
4. 06-004 — dc:title does not clearly identify the document.
