Finally, in case you missed earlier posts from last month, here are links to the official sources for the two new PDF standards that these other resources relate to:
1. PDF/UA-2 (PDF for Universal Accessibility)

One thing I realized in reading through the new standards and looking at various sample files this week is that I should probably spend some time learning LaTeX! Both LaTeX and @libreoffice are already capable of producing PDF/UA-2 files, and with some tweaking, LaTeX can produce what appear to be really good WTPDF files. Kudos to both those development teams!
