Page setup: A0-A6, Letter, Legal, and Ledger page sizes; uniform or per-side margins; one of the 14 standard PDF fonts as the document default.
Content: headings with outline bookmarks; paragraphs with per-run colour, hyperlinks, alignment, and line spacing, or composed from mixed-style text runs; ordered and unordered lists; tables with header rows, explicit column widths, borders, and header backgrounds; images in JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, JBIG2, and JPEG 2000 with sizing, alignment, and alt text; horizontal line separators; running headers and footers with {page}/{pages} tokens.
Fonts and text: the 14 standard fonts, or embed a TrueType font for full Unicode (also required for PDF/A); per-element font, size, and colour.
Metadata and accessibility: title, author, subject, keywords, creator, and producer; tagged-PDF structure, a document /Lang language tag, and image alt text for accessible output.
Archival and colour: PDF/A-2b, 2u, and 2a conformance; output intents using the default sRGB profile, a custom ICC profile, or generic CMYK.
Security and signing: AES encryption with user/owner passwords and permission flags; PAdES digital signatures, including RFC-3161 timestamps (PAdES B-T).
This module generates new PDFs. It does not read, edit, split, or merge existing PDF files; VellumPdf is a write-only engine with no parser.

Release Notes
1.2.1: adversarial-review follow-ups to 1.2.0. Timestamp HttpClient is now disposed with the document instead of leaking; a timestamp authority failure at save gives a TSA/network hint rather than a certificate one; the JBIG2/JPEG 2000 routing tests now assert the format-specific loader and real end-to-end embedding is covered. Help notes the PDF/A-2 ISO constraints on JPEG 2000/JBIG2 images. 1.2.0 (built on VellumPdf 1.5.3) added RFC-3161 timestamps (PAdES B-T) and JBIG2/JPEG 2000 image support.
