PDF to PDF/A

Convert your PDFs to ISO-standardized PDF/A format for long-term digital archiving. Ensures fonts, colors, and metadata are embedded for reliable reproduction over decades.

PDF/A files are self-contained - fonts and colors are embedded for guaranteed fidelity

PDF/A Standards

PDF/A-1b
Basic Level B
ISO 19005-1:2005
Visual fidelity preservation. Embeds fonts and color profiles. Widest compatibility with archival systems.
PDF/A-2b
Enhanced Level B
ISO 19005-2:2011
Supports JPEG2000 compression, layers, transparency. Smaller file sizes with better quality.
PDF/A-3b
With Attachments
ISO 19005-3:2012
All PDF/A-2 features plus ability to embed arbitrary files (XML, CSV, spreadsheets) as attachments.

Font Embedding: PDF/A requires all fonts to be embedded. If your PDF uses restricted fonts, they will be subset-embedded during conversion. Files with encrypted or DRM-protected fonts may need to be unlocked first.

Why PDF/A Matters

Long-term Archival

Guarantees documents look identical decades from now, regardless of software changes.

Embedded Resources

Fonts, color profiles, and metadata are self-contained - no external dependencies.

Legal Compliance

Required by courts, government agencies, and enterprises for official document storage.
