Created by Adobe in 1993, PDF is the standard for sharing documents that must look identical on every screen and printer. It embeds fonts, images and layout in one file and supports passwords, forms and digital signatures.
PDF/A is an ISO standard (ISO 19005) for long-term archiving. It forbids features that could prevent a document from opening in the future, such as external fonts or encryption, and embeds everything needed to display the file.
PDF/A-2b is the most widely accepted choice. Use PDF/A-1b only if an authority explicitly asks for it, and PDF/A-3b if you need to attach other files.
Courts, public administrations, archives and many companies require PDF/A for documents that must be kept for years.
Scanned pages are images, so their text cannot be edited directly. Run the file through our OCR PDF tool first to make the text recognizable, then convert it.
