Hi, I am looking for a LaTeX system that can create accessible PDF so I tried ConTeXt. In current ConTeXt it seems to be impossible to specify more than one \setupbackend[format Minimal example: \setupbackend[format={pdf/a-3a,pdf/ua-1,pdf/x-4}] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext I get an error: backend > profiles > error, format 'pdf/a-3a,pdf/ua-1,pdf/x-4' is not supported Why should I have to choose whether my PDF is accessible to search engines, the disabled or the print-shop? Shouldn't everybody be able to access my document? Regards Robin

Minimal example: \setupbackend[format={pdf/a-3a,pdf/ua-1,pdf/x-4}]
\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext
I get an error: backend > profiles > error, format 'pdf/a-3a,pdf/ua-1,pdf/x-4' is not supported
Why should I have to choose whether my PDF is accessible to search engines, the disabled or the print-shop? Shouldn't everybody be able to access my document?
You should choose one of these standards, not multiple of them.

Hi Robin, I may be missing your point, but consider the following: you are setting a format or a format version. AfaIk, documents that contain file format information inside only allow one format. They may be compilant with other formats (or versions of the same format), but this is something else. With PDF versions and standards, this goes the same way. You might have a PDF-1.7 document that only uses features already defined in PDF-1.4. Also you might have a PDF/A document with features already available in PDF/UA and PDF/X. But in any case, you only have one field for document version (or standard). Just in case it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
