Frequently Asked Questions
Does this produce a true, ISO-compliant PDF/A file?
Not currently. This tool updates document metadata (title, producer, dates) rather than performing full PDF/A conversion, which requires font embedding and color-space compliance this tool doesn't yet handle. For a document that must pass formal PDF/A validation (for example, for legal or government submission), use dedicated PDF/A conversion software.
What is PDF/A?
PDF/A is an ISO standard for long-term archiving of electronic documents, ensuring they remain readable decades from now.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No, processing happens entirely in your browser.
