PDF to PDF/A — Archival format

PDF/A is an ISO-standardized version of PDF designed for long-term archiving. Converting to PDF/A ensures the document can be opened correctly decades from now, regardless of software changes.

PDF/A embeds all fonts, color profiles, and resources inside the file, removing external dependencies. It also disables encryption, JavaScript, and dynamic features.

Required by government agencies, courts, and archival standards. If you're submitting legal filings, official records, or any document that must be preserved long-term, PDF/A is the required format.
