PDF to PDF/A Converter

Introduction

Standard PDFs are great for everyday viewing and sharing, but not always suitable for long-term preservation. This tool converts regular PDF files into PDF/A, a standardized archival format designed to remain readable for decades without relying on external software, fonts, or resources. It ensures documents can be stored and accessed reliably across future systems.

By embedding necessary data and enforcing preservation rules, the tool turns ordinary PDFs into compliant, self-contained archival files ideal for libraries, corporate archives, legal documents, and institutional record-keeping.

Why This Tool Is Useful

Not all PDFs are future-proof. Missing fonts, unsupported features, or external dependencies can make older documents difficult or impossible to open later. PDF/A solves this by enforcing strict formatting standards. Converting to PDF/A protects important documents from compatibility issues and guarantees long-term readability.

For organizations dealing with compliance or historical preservation, PDF/A conversion helps meet archiving standards and regulatory requirements. Browser-based conversion also ensures quick processing without installing specialized software.
