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"

I guess /StructParents 0 in

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.
