docs(readme): note Ghostscript dependency for full PDF/A-2b conformance#29
Merged
Conversation
L2 from logical-beaming-brooks.md plan: the format table advertises PDF/A-2b output, but the README never mentioned that full veraPDF conformance requires Ghostscript. Self-hosters running the local-Python install path could end up with markup-only PDF/A output that fails veraPDF when the source has unembedded fonts. Footnote on the PDF row + a one-paragraph note under the format table: - Docker image bundles Ghostscript (no action needed) - Local-Python installs follow docs/installation.md - Markup-only fallback is the visible behaviour without it No code change. The fallback path in app/converters/pdfa.py already exists and structured-logs `mode=markup` vs `mode=rerender` so operators can spot the gap; this just makes the dependency documented.
