Hi Reinhard, Karl, Philip and others.

I gather the PDF/A-1 standard is not available online. -k
See https://github.com/veraPDF/veraPDF-validation-profiles/wikihttps://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/GFxqCD1vRkCjYg69h52RoW?domain=github.com It provides at least section 6 (Technical Requirements). Statements in sections "Requirement" are from the ISO specs. Thanks for this link, and also Phil’s message. I’ll add this into the Bibliography of pdfx.pdf . Looking at: https://github.com/veraPDF/veraPDF-validation-profiles/wiki/PDFA-Part-1-rule... Rule 6.3.5-2 for PDF/A-1 https://github.com/veraPDF/veraPDF-validation-profiles/wiki/PDFA-Parts-2-and... Rule 6.2.11.4-3 for PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-3 it becomes clear that • PDF/A-1 requires a CharSet entry to exist, but places no requirement on its accuracy • PDF/A-2,3 relaxes this to being optional, but if present the CharSet must be accurate. So when the new primitive becomes available I’ll adjust coding in pdfx.sty to: * include the CharSet when building PDF/A-1b * omit the CharSet when building PDF/A-2b or PDF/A-3b (and u flavours) That should satisfy these rules. It then must be documented that if validation due to an incomplete CharSet occurs with PDF/A-1 the author should upgrade to PDF/A-2 to avoid having the bad CharSet. But that error should not occur, unless the validator is being more picky than required. All I need is the name of the new primitive, and which values will correspond to include/exclude, to be able to write this new (La)TeX coding, by testing for the csname . This will allow pdfx.sty to support this for TeXLive 2019.
