PDF/UA and WCAG compliance issue with embedded files (attachments)
I need to create WCAG and PDF/UA compliant PDF from HTML. Therefore I have followed the instructions on https://github.com/danfickle/openhtmltopdf/wiki/PDF-Accessibility-(PDF-UA,-WCAG,-Section-508)-Support
It already works really well! Thanks for this awesome library!
I then added attachment files as described here: https://github.com/danfickle/openhtmltopdf/wiki/Embedding-downloadable-files
Unfortunately, this causes the following errors in the validation tool I am using (PAC 2021):
Issue 1
Sorry, german version of PAC. It basically reads "PDF document not readable (Operator 'CS' not allowed in this current state".
I have checked the PDF file in an editor, but did not find any occurrence of CS.
Issue 2
This one reads: "Annotation not within a 'Annot' structure element"

may cause the issue, but I don't know how to solve it.
The <a download=... element is only nested in body > p, without any further semantics. Maybe that's the issue.
<html>
...
<body>
...
<p>...</p>
<p>
<a ... href="attachments/Some_attachment.docx" ... download="" ...>Some attachment link</a>
</p>
...
Any ideas or hints? If you can help me understand the issue, I may be able to provide a patch, in case it is related to the library code rather than to my code.
