How to create PDF/UA in iText7 with text hyperlink - pdf

Question

I am trying to create a PDF/UA compliant file that contains a text hyperlink with iText 7. Both the Acrobat Preflight test for PDF/UA and the PDF Accessibility Checker (PAC 3) complain that the PDF file say that the PDF is not compliant.
PAC 3 says ""Link" annotation is not nested inside a "Link" structure element" and the Acrobat Preflight test says the Link annotation does not have an alternate description in the Contents key.
The following is my attempt to create PDF/UA compliant output that contains a text hyperlink.
Any advice would be appreciated.
public void testHyperLink() throws IOException {
// Create PDF/UA with text hyperlink
String filename = "./results/HyperLink.pdf";
WriterProperties properties = new WriterProperties();
properties.addUAXmpMetadata().setPdfVersion(PdfVersion.PDF_1_7);
PdfWriter writer = new PdfWriter(filename, properties);
pdfDoc = new PdfDocument(writer);
//Make document tagged
pdfDoc.setTagged();
pdfDoc.getCatalog().setLang(new PdfString("en-US"));
pdfDoc.getCatalog().setViewerPreferences(new PdfViewerPreferences().setDisplayDocTitle(true));
PdfDocumentInfo info = pdfDoc.getDocumentInfo();
info.setTitle("Hello Hyperlinks!");
document = new Document(pdfDoc);
// Must embed font for PDF/UA
byte[] inputBytes = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get("./resources/fonts/opensans-regular.ttf"));
boolean embedded = true;
boolean cached = false;
PdfFont font = PdfFontFactory.createFont(inputBytes, PdfEncodings.CP1252, embedded, cached);
Text text = new Text("This is a Text link");
text.setFont(font);
text.setFontSize(16F);
// Add alternate text for hyperlink
text.getAccessibilityProperties().setAlternateDescription("Click here to go to the iText website");
PdfAction act = PdfAction.createURI("https://itextpdf.com/");
text.setAction(act);
Paragraph para = new Paragraph();
para.add(text);
document.add(para);
document.close();
System.out.println("Created "+ filename);
}

Answer 1

A Link object might be what you want:
Link lnk = new Link("This is a Text link",
PdfAction.CreateURI("https://itextpdf.com/"));
lnk.SetFont(font);
lnk.GetLinkAnnotation().SetBorder(new PdfAnnotationBorder(0, 0, 0));//Remove the default border
lnk.GetAccessibilityProperties().SetAlternateDescription("Click here to go to the iText website");
Paragraph para = new Paragraph();
para.Add(lnk);
document.Add(para);
