This process has been tested with macOS 13.3.

Configuring Tools

  • install python
  • Install PyPDF2 (needed for pdf-import.py)
pip3 install PyPDF2

VeraPDF

  • Install veraPDF (for PDF/A compliance check)
    • Create veraPDF directory mkdir veraPDF; cd veraPDF
    • Download & install latest stable version of veraPDF using
mkdir veraPDF-download; cd veraPDF-download
wget https://software.verapdf.org/rel/verapdf-installer.zip
unzip verapdf-installer.zip
cd verapdf-greenfield-1.22.3
./verapdf-install
  • When executing ./verapdf-install provide as installation folder <root>/_tools/veraPDF, which will be a newly created folder.
  • Note that the /veraPDF and /veraPDF-download folders are in .gitignore.
  • After installation is completed you can delete the /veraPDF-download folder and all its contents.
