About PDF to PDF/A

Archives, courts and thesis portals often reject ordinary PDFs because they may reference fonts or colour profiles that will not exist in the future. PDF/A packs everything inside the file. This converter uses Ghostscript's PDF/A-2b pipeline to embed fonts, convert colours to sRGB and write the required output intent.

Frequently asked questions

What is PDF/A?
An ISO standard for PDFs that must still open identically decades from now: everything needed to display the file is embedded and nothing depends on external resources.
Which level do I get?
PDF/A-2b, the level most archives and e-filing systems accept.
Will it change how the document looks?
No. Content is unchanged; only fonts, colour management and metadata are made self-contained.
