<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, unsure of what PDF/UA is, I looked it up and see that it's PDF/Universal Access. The article I read then goes on to talk about the importance of tagging documents and such. It sounds like the PDF/UA attribute is a good thing.
Why would someone want to remove it?<o:p></o:p></p>

Subject: Re: [WebAIM] Removing the PDF/UA Identifier in Acrobat Pro DC<br>
<br>
I had to do this a couple of times a year or so ago. I went into Acrobat Pro, Properties, Additional Metadata and then I deleted the PDF/UA entry and saved it and it gets rid of the PDF/UA identifier. That is the only way I could do it.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>
