The first bit is just a warning, not an error. Of course, you could check what has changed in v9.11 that makes this not recommended anymore. Maybe they already handle it internally when you set -dPDFACompatibilityPolicy=1 and the old setting can interfere. But when the output of the validator doesn

Hi Richard, I don't see any problem because I'm reading this mailing-list from a MUA that's mostly text-only and doesn't try to use variable-size fonts, but looking at the HTML you send I see: > style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"> repeated several times. I have no i

Well, guess what, I haven't done anything to change the way messages look. The only settings I ever change is how they are displayed to me. And never has anyone ever had an issue with that, in many years. Probably because other people are just not using unusable software. And quite frankly, punishi

I wrote a report with LaTeX, and afterwards discovered it must be PDF/A-compliant - which wasn't. I found the pdfx LaTeX package and followed its instructions, thus obtaining a file that should be PDF/A and pdfinfo identifies as such, but my employer's upload form thinks isn't. Is pdfinfo reliable
