Flying Saucer is not generating links from a tags that are PDF/A-1A conform:
<a href="https://www.google.at/">My link</a>
The veraPDF validation`of Rule 6.5.3-2 fails with following error:
An annotation dictionary shall contain the F key. The F key's Print flag bit shall be set to 1 and its Hidden, Invisible and NoView flag bits shall be set to 0.
This fix adds the
F
key to the annotation of generated links, so the pdf passes the PDF/A-1A conformity check.If the fix is acceptable, it would be nice to have a release soon. If version 9.6.0 cannot be released yet, it is also ok cherry-picking this commit to 9.5.2 and release from there.
Thanks for your time :)
