What is PDF/A?
PDF/A is an ISO-standardized version of the Portable Document Format designed specifically for long-term preservation of electronic records. Unlike standard PDFs, PDF/A forbids features that impede future readability, such as external font linking, executable scripts, or audio streams.Core Rules of Archival Compliance:
- All fonts must be embedded directly inside the file container. - Device-independent color spaces must be specified. - Passwords and encryption are prohibited in strict archival states so records remain accessible to future auditors.Prepare your corporate files with DocZen PDF Tools today.
