Disclosure
Description	Standardized by ISO 14289-2:2024, PDF/UA-2 is a constrained subset of PDF 2.0 (ISO 32000-2:2020) focused on maximising accessibility and support for assistive technologies. Note that files may conform to both PDF/UA and PDF/A, which will result in multiple identification outcomes from DROID. Neither format is the more specific PDF subset, so it is inappropriate to prioritise identification of one over the other.
