1044 | """Writes an archival cover sheet whose metadata carries fields of its own: a
records office's reference, department, retention date and classification.
The Python twin of the `write_own_schema` example in Rust: the same document,
through the binding rather than through the library directly.
PDF/A accepts metadata no standard ever heard of, but not silently. A property
from outside the standard schemas travels with a description of itself — what it
is called, how it is to be read, who it is written for, and what it means — or
the file is not conformant. One schema says all of that, and the library writes
both halves: the properties into the packet, the description into the extension
block.
The page prints the very fields the packet declares, from one list read twice, so
that what a person reads and what a machine reads cannot drift apart.
The words are held in `Words`, once per language, and `HQF_PDF_LANG` picks which
set the sheet is drawn up in. The names the properties are written under are not
words: they are what a machine looks them up by, and they are spelled the same
way whoever reads the sheet. What each of them says and what each of them means
are words, and travel into the packet with the page.
A second page declares a second schema, a loan record, whose six fields are read the
six other ways a property may be: as a yes or no, a media type, a proper name, a real
number, an identifier and an address, and two lists: the witnesses to the loan, in no
order, and its changes of hands, in order, each a structure of the record's own
invention that the extension block describes field by field, and the conditions of the
loan, one text in three languages, each marked with its language. It states the keywords
the document carries, when it changed and whether it was trapped, that date as PDF
writes it and read back, and weighs the packet the page carries of its own against the
same facts claiming three standards.
Whether the result is really PDF/A-3 is not for us to say. `veraPDF` says, and
`scripts/check_pdfa.sh` asks it.
