PDF/A with hyperref on TeX Live 2013

Question

I am trying to make PDF/A from LaTeX (not from LuaTeX etc.) with TeX Live 2013 on Fedora Linux. This works:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

What cat says? \label{meow}

See question on page \pageref{meow}.

\end{document}

With commands latex, dvips and last

gs -dPDFA -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOOUTERSAVE -dUseCIEColor
-sProcessColorModel=DeviceCMYK -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-sOutputFile=meow.pdf meow.ps

Now, when I add \usepackage[pdfa]{hyperref} I got validation errors like

dc:description :: Wrong value type. Expected type 'lang alt'.
The XMP property 'dc:title' is not synchronized with the document
information entry 'Title'.
A device-specific color space (Annotation C or IC) without an
appropriate output intent is used.

Documentation of hyperref says

-- result is usually not in PDF/A, because many features aren't controlled by hyperref --

but how to control those?

Should I even try this path? There are alternatives like pdfx. Which path to use?

Answer 1

Update: Since the original answer, the PDF api in luatex changed. In order to use this code you have to load luatex85

1. Put the color profile eciRGB_v2.icc in the working directory.
2. Add the flowing code to your preamble:

\usepackage{luatex85}
\pdfminorversion 4
\immediate\pdfobj stream attr{/N 3}  file{eciRGB_v2.icc}
\pdfcatalog{%
/OutputIntents [ <<
/Type /OutputIntent
/S/GTS_PDFA1
/DestOutputProfile \the\pdflastobj\space 0 R
/OutputConditionIdentifier (eciRGB v2)
/Info(eciRGB v2)
>> ]
}

3. Add metadata with hyperxmpand \hypersetup:

Load hyperxmp:

\usepackage{hyperxmp}

Add metadata in \hypersetup:

\hypersetup{%
       pdftitle={Title},
       pdfauthor={Author},
       pdfauthortitle={Title of the Author},
       pdfcopyright={Copyright (C) 20xx, Copyrightholder},
       pdfsubject={Something},
       pdfkeywords={Keyword1, Keyword2},
       pdflicenseurl={http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/},
       pdfcaptionwriter={Scott Pakin},
       pdfcontactaddress={Street},
       pdfcontactcity={City},
       pdfcontactpostcode={101},
       pdfcontactcountry={Country},
       pdfcontactemail={email@institute.edu},
       pdfcontacturl={http://www.institute.edu},
       pdflang={en},
       bookmarksopen=true,
       bookmarksopenlevel=3,
       hypertexnames=false,
       linktocpage=true,
       plainpages=false,
       breaklinks
     }

Everything put together results in a document like this:

% ===============================
% Filename: test.tex

\documentclass{article}

% ===============================
% Embedding the color profile.
% Requires eciRGB_v2.icc in the working directory
% http://www.eci.org/_media/downloads/icc_profiles_from_eci/ecirgbv20.zip


\usepackage{luatex85}
\pdfminorversion 4
\immediate\pdfobj stream attr{/N 3}  file{eciRGB_v2.icc}
\pdfcatalog{%
/OutputIntents [ <<
/Type /OutputIntent
/S/GTS_PDFA1
/DestOutputProfile \the\pdflastobj\space 0 R
/OutputConditionIdentifier (eciRGB v2)
/Info(eciRGB v2)
>> ]
}

\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{hyperxmp}
\usepackage[pdftex, pdfa, linktoc=none]{hyperref}

% ----------------------------------------------
% Add metadata

\hypersetup{%
       pdftitle={Title},
       pdfauthor={Author},
       pdfauthortitle={Title of the Author},
       pdfcopyright={Copyright (C) 20xx, Copyrightholder},
       pdfsubject={Something},
       pdfkeywords={Keyword1, Keyword2},
       pdflicenseurl={http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/},
       pdfcaptionwriter={Scott Pakin},
       pdfcontactaddress={Street},
       pdfcontactcity={City},
       pdfcontactpostcode={101},
       pdfcontactcountry={Country},
       pdfcontactemail={email@institute.edu},
       pdfcontacturl={http://www.institute.edu},
       pdflang={en},
       bookmarksopen=true,
       bookmarksopenlevel=3,
       hypertexnames=false,
       linktocpage=true,
       plainpages=false,
       breaklinks
     }

\begin{document}
What cat says? \label{meow}
See question on page \pageref{meow}.
\end{document}

Which is PDF/A-1b compliant:

This works only with pdfLaTeX and LuaLatTeX.
