Software for validation and conformance checking:

• tiff: DPF Manager (http://dpfmanager.org/) NoteNote

  Using DPF Manager Lite gives an error: https://github.com/EasyinnovaSL/DPFManager/issues/493
  The workaround from the linked issue works. Thus, if it es e.g. installed in 'C:\Program Files\DPF Manager\app', from an command line (with java installed) just execute
  

  java -jar "C:\Program Files\DPF Manager\app\DPF Manager-jfx.jar"
