Convert standard PDF files to the PDF/A archival format for long-term preservation and regulatory compliance. PDF/A embeds all fonts, colour profiles, and metadata directly into the file so it can be opened and rendered identically decades from now — without relying on external resources. Processed via Ghostscript on our server.
PDF/A is an ISO standard for archiving PDF documents. It is required for legal records, government submissions, and any document that must remain readable and reproducible over many years.
The tool outputs PDF/A-1b, which is the most widely accepted archival variant and satisfies most compliance requirements.
Yes. Conversion uses Ghostscript running on our server. Your file is automatically deleted after you download the result.
The visual output should be nearly identical. PDF/A conversion may embed or substitute fonts and flatten transparency, which rarely causes visible changes.
PDF files up to 50 MB are accepted for conversion.
