About PDF to PDF/A
Create an archival PDF/A-2b version of an existing PDF document for long-term preservation.
Quality and privacy
PDF conversions vary depending on fonts, scanning quality, source layout and available server engines. Appearance-preserving exports use page images rather than individually editable text. Uploaded and generated files are kept in private temporary server storage, not inside SQL database tables. Downloads are temporary; completed downloads are removed after delivery when supported, with a scheduled cleanup as a safeguard. See our Privacy Policy.
