I am trying to create a PDF/A-2u compliant PDF file from a LaTEX version of my thesis. I am using the pdfx package set to a-2u and validating the generated PDF using the VeraPDF validator with a profile for PDF/A-2u, since it is what my university does when validating submitted files.
But when I run the validator the following test fails:
Specification: ISO 19005-2:2011, Clause: 6.2.11.4, Test number: 1
The font programs for all fonts used for rendering within a conforming file shall be embedded within that file, as defined in ISO 32000-1:2008, 9.9.
Subtype == "Type3" || Subtype == "Type0" || renderingMode == 3 || fontFile_size == 1
I have created a fairly minimal example, which I compile into pdf using pdflatex document
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{report}
\setlength\textwidth{145mm}
\setlength\textheight{247mm}
\setlength\oddsidemargin{15mm}
\setlength\evensidemargin{15mm}
\setlength\topmargin{0mm}
\setlength\headsep{0mm}
\setlength\headheight{0mm}
\let\openright=\clearpage

\usepackage{dcolumn}

\usepackage{paralist}
\usepackage[usenames,table,xcdraw]{xcolor}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\hypersetup{unicode}
\hypersetup{breaklinks=true}
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{empty}
\hypersetup{pageanchor=false}
hello, \emph{world}
\openright
\end{document}
When I run pdffonts document.pdf, I can see that all the used fonts are embedded and of Type 1:
name type encoding emb sub uni object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- ---------------- --- --- --- ---------
YGPAOD+LMRoman12-Regular Type 1 Custom yes yes yes 9 0
OCNWPR+LMRoman12-Italic Type 1 Custom yes yes yes 10 0
Which means that the fonts do not match the desired renderingMode or fontFile_size requirement.
Is there a way to fix this, ideally within latex?
This is the full output of the validator:
