PDF/A-2 is a profile of PDF 1.7 and Tesseract currently writes 1.5 (although changing that is probably the easiest part of the changes required). The metadata that Jeff mentions would probably need to be externally provided. For example things like the document title, author, etc would likely need to be provided by the user. One thing that you might consider is using a tool like Adobe Acrobat Pro to conform the output of Tesseract to the necessary standard. Getting someone to update Tess to conform to an ISO standard is going to be difficult since they're not freely available and need to be purchased (ISO 19005-2:2011 <http://www.iso.org/iso/catalogue_detail?csnumber=50655> is 158 Swiss Francs).
