FAQ
PDF to PDF/A — frequently asked questions
What is PDF/A and who needs it?
PDF/A is the ISO standard for long-term archiving, often required by government, legal and library systems. It embeds fonts and uses a device-independent colour profile so the file looks the same years later.
Which PDF/A version do I get?
PDF/A-2b, the level accepted by most archives and portals. It preserves how the document looks.
Is my file uploaded? Is PDF to PDF/A safe to use?
PDF to PDF/A needs our processor to do the conversion, so your file travels over an encrypted HTTPS connection to a private temporary folder. It is deleted automatically when the download finishes or you leave the page, and we never read, keep or share it.
Is PDF to PDF/A free? Is there a file size limit?
Yes, it is free with no account, signup or watermark. Very large files can be rejected or take longer, so split or compress them first if the upload does not go through.
