Not sure this is needed. What are users expected to put in the descriptio/alt text fields for signature lines? Isn't it enough for screen readers to know that this is a signature line field?

Exporting the attachment as PDF/UA with LO 7.5.3, and testing the resulting file with the VeraPDF online tool, it is reported as compliant with the PDF/UA-1 validation profile. https://demo.verapdf.org/ Same with https://check.axes4.com So my guess is that you're right, we don't need this test.

I just tested the example file in Ubuntu 20.04 Orca. It reads up the Shape1 object name, the Text Alternative from the Description box and puts an "Image" category (and not Signature line) after it. Listen to the attachment 186879 [details] from bug 154982 in Orca, which has this field filled. So I'd think it makes sense to warn about this. Also the PDF/UA export should take a useful description from "somewhere" - as seen on attachment 186878 [details] currently nothing useful is there. Plus a document can have multiple signature lines, so having the ability to customize description more than an automatic "Image1, Image2" can be useful.

Thanks for looking into it further, I agree now that we need it.
