I’d love to learn how you come to this statement. AFAICT it can’t be derived from any of the PDF standards I know. Just to make an extreme point: if each and every (recognized) character in an OCR-ed document would be represented by an ActualText attribute, on the formal level of applicable standards (PDF per ISO 32000-1 or PDF/UA per ISO 14289-1), nothing would be in violation of the applicable standards. Whether using such an approach makes any sense is a completely different story. Olaf
