Converting PDFs to Archival PDF/A Format

  1. Upload the PDF you want to archive via drag or Choose Files.

  2. Start the conversion; fonts are embedded and risky features normalized.

  3. Confirm the pages still look identical to the original.

  4. Download the PDF/A file for your records or compliance filing.
