 Some [[https://wiki.ufal.ms.mff.cuni.cz/tex:pbml|PBML]] and [[https://wiki.ufal.ms.mff.cuni.cz/tex:sctl|SCTL]]-specific issues can be found at these links.
+====== pdf-a verification of theses ======
+All theses submitted at the Charles University must be in the pdf-a format,
+following a specific set of requirements defined by a university profile.
+`/lnet/ms/projects/verapdf/checkpdf` in the ufal internal network is a wrapper for the verapdf tool which you can use to check whether your thesis fulfills these requirements. New university profiles appear regularly at
+https://cuni.cz/UK-7987.html , so don't rely on the default.
+[[vernerova@ufal.mff.cuni.cz|Anša's]] experience:
+I used Eda's LaTeX template (send me an e-mail if you want to get it) and no amount of tweaking would give me a valid pdf-a, even though I was using
+    \usepackage[a-2u]{pdfx}
+and compiling with a wrapper script containing the line
+    LC_ALL=cs_CZ.UTF-8 xelatex -shell-escape -output-driver="xdvipdfmx -z 0" -synctex=1 "$@"
+I sent my pdf file to [[https://www.mff.cuni.cz/cs/fakulta/organizacni-struktura/lide?hdl=2684|Petra Hoffmannová from the library]], who ran my pdf file through Adobe Acrobat (the library has a commercial licence)... and voilà, it was a valid pdf-a. Unlike verapdf, Acrobat also gives a detailed summary of the exact issues with your file (like which piece of text in which image fails the validation).
