PDF/A (ISO 19005) is designed for long-term digital preservation. Unlike regular PDFs, PDF/A documents are self-contained — they include all necessary information (fonts, color profiles, metadata) to ensure the document can be reproduced exactly the same way in the future.
PDF/A is an ISO-standardized format (ISO 19005) designed for long-term digital preservation of documents. It ensures documents remain readable regardless of software or hardware changes over time.
The tool adds PDF/A-1b identification metadata (XMP), sRGB output intent for color consistency, document structure markers (MarkInfo), required metadata fields, and sets the PDF version to 1.4.
This tool adds the structural metadata required by PDF/A-1b. However, full compliance also requires embedded fonts and no transparency, which may need a desktop tool like Adobe Acrobat for complete validation.
Yes, 100%. All processing happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your PDF is never uploaded to any server.
The tool targets PDF/A-1b (ISO 19005-1, Level B conformance), which is the most widely accepted and basic level of PDF/A compliance.
PDF/A is often required for legal documents, government filings, academic submissions, and corporate records retention. It ensures documents remain accessible for decades.
