PDF/UA

PDF/UA (Portable Document Format/Universal Accessibility) is an international standard for accessible PDF documents. It was developed to ensure that PDF files are created and structured in a way that makes them accessible to individuals with disabilities, particularly those who use assistive technologies such as screen readers.

The following example demonstrates using a hypothetical convertToPdfUA method to convert standard PDFs into PDFs that comply with the PDF/UA standard. It also shows how to use the saveAs method to export the PDF document.
