For PDF/A-3b see

For PDF/A-3a you'd have to go via a different PDF engine. I know that
ConTeXt, Prince XML, and the latest version of WeasyPrint support it in
some way or another.

I'm using ConTeXt in a project where we aim for accessible PDF output.

    pandoc --pdf-engine=context -V pdfa=3a ...

See also <https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/pull/7885>; for the time being,
I'd recommend to use the above command in combination with this Lua
filter:

    function Para(p)
      p.content:insert(1, pandoc.RawInline('context', '\\bpar'))
      p.content:insert(   pandoc.RawInline('context', '\\epar'))
      return p
    end

HTH,

Albert
