PDFA-FONT-NOT-EMBEDDED
input

A font is not embedded in the PDF

Every font must be embedded, including the fourteen standard PDF fonts.

Only the issuer holds this value: Factlint reports it and never fabricates it. Test your invoice to find out whether it is affected.

Why this error happens

Helvetica left out is enough to fail PDF/A validation. The recurring trap: a PDF produced by headless Chrome, wkhtmltopdf or a virtual printer is not a PDF/A, whatever its extension says.

How to fix it

The PDF must be regenerated with its fonts embedded. No automatic correction is possible: rewriting a document's glyphs would amount to producing a different document.
