DEVONtechnologies<p>Tip of the day: If you have a need to watermark or put identifying information on <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/PDFs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PDFs</span></a> or images, the Pro and Server editions of <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/DEVONthink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DEVONthink</span></a> can do this for you. It’s called imprinting and we show you how you set up and use it. <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/paperless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>paperless</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/pdf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pdf</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/pkm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pkm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/productivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>productivity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/tipoftheday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tipoftheday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/workflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workflow</span></a> <a href="https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/202040709-imprint-documents" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">devontechnologies.com/blog/202</span><span class="invisible">040709-imprint-documents</span></a></p>
Susan Borda<p>Here are the results of running veraPDF ua1 against 175K PDFs from our docs repository. I also have a text file with all of the error text to go through. VeraPDF made a ~15GB json file. Accessibility rules 7.1 and 7.2 were our worst. I need to rerun this against ua2. <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/pdfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pdfs</span></a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/pdf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pdf</span></a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/digitalpreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>digitalpreservation</span></a></p>
