As David wrote, the pdf is broken. Either you didn't make enough
compilation runs (pdflatex needs a few more than lualatex to get the
tagging structure right) or something is broken (tagging with
pdflatex is more fragile then with lualatex). 

I can not test myself which one it is as graphics are missing and I
do have the time to figure out how you are creating them. 

But as David said: Use lualatex. If you want "to do the
highest PDF standard" as you put it, then lualatex is a *must*. You
will not get really good math accessibility, good real space chars,
good handling of hyphenation, good unicode support and more without
lualatex.
