About PDF to PDF/A

What is PDF/A Conversion

The PDF/A Converter is an online tool that converts existing PDF files to comply with the PDF/A (ISO 19005) archival standard. PDF/A is an international standard designed for long-term preservation of electronic documents, widely used by government agencies, law firms, and corporate compliance departments.

Detailed Conversion Process

This tool automatically performs the following: sets PDF/A conformance levels (PDF/A-1b or PDF/A-2b) in XMP metadata, declares color profiles via OutputIntents, sets MarkInfo (tagged PDF) flags, and removes JavaScript and form actions. Document metadata such as title and author can be customized. The converted file's PDF/A conformance at the metadata level can be validated.

Secure and Safe Processing

While full PDF/A compliance requires font embedding and ICC profile inclusion in some cases, this tool provides best-effort conversion at the metadata level. All processing is completed within your browser, and no files are sent to external servers, making it safe for confidential documents.
