From standard PDFs to archival compliance

  • ISO compliance: Meets international archival standards (ISO 19005-1)
  • Self-contained files: Embeds all fonts, images, and metadata internally
  • Long-term preservation: Guaranteed to display identically for decades
  • Legal acceptance: Accepted by courts and government agencies worldwide
  • Regulatory compliance: Meets requirements for regulated industries

Government Agencies
Federal and state agencies need documents that comply with archival standards for public records. PDF/A ensures legal documents, permits, and regulatory filings remain accessible and unchanged for the required retention periods.
Legal Firms
Court filings, contracts, and case documents require long-term preservation in their original format. The US Supreme Court and many other courts specifically require PDF/A for electronic document submissions.
Healthcare Providers
Patient records, medical histories, and diagnostic reports must be preserved exactly as created to meet regulatory requirements. PDF/A conversion ensures HIPAA compliance and long-term accessibility of critical medical documents.
Academic Institutions
Universities and research institutions preserve dissertations, research papers, and historical documents in digital archives. PDF/A ensures these scholarly works remain accessible to future researchers without formatting degradation.
Financial Institutions
Banks and insurance companies archive contracts, financial reports, and audit documents for compliance and legal protection. PDF/A format guarantees these critical records remain unchanged and legally defensible.
Compliance Officers
Organizations with document retention policies need archival formats that guarantee long-term integrity. PDF/A conversion ensures compliance with industry regulations and internal governance requirements.

Why choose PDFWizard for PDF/A conversion

Converting to PDF/A isn't just about changing file extensions - it requires precise technical compliance with ISO standards. Here's how we ensure your documents meet archival requirements:

Font embedding verification
We ensure all fonts used in your PDF are properly embedded and legally embeddable for unlimited rendering. This prevents display issues when the document is viewed on systems without those specific fonts installed.

Color space conversion
PDF/A requires device-independent color representation. Our converter automatically adjusts color profiles to ensure your documents display consistently across all devices and platforms, now and in the future.

Metadata compliance
We embed required archival metadata within the file, including PDF/A conformance information, document properties, and structural tags that enhance accessibility and long-term preservation.

Validation and verification
Every converted file is automatically validated against PDF/A standards to ensure full compliance. We'll flag any issues that could prevent proper archival acceptance or future accessibility.
