Convert PDF into PDF/A Archival Format
You need a document that still opens twenty years from now. Ordinary PDFs lean on outside fonts, videos, passwords; over the years those vanish and the file stops opening. The PDF/A standard bans these risks: fonts are embedded, everything sits in one package. Courts, notaries, and accounting archives demand PDF/A for exactly this reason. This tool converts your uploaded PDF into PDF/A-2b; fonts get embedded, the archive stamp applied. Files must stay under 20 MB, the link lives one hour. Unlock encrypted files first.
