3. Convert PDF to PDF/A

PDF/A is an ISO-standardized version of the Portable Document Format (PDF) widely used to archive digital documents. PDF/A differs from PDF as it restricts unsuitable features such as font linking (instead of font embedding) and encryption. The ISO requirements for PDF/A file viewers include color management guidelines, support for embedded fonts, and a user interface for reading embedded annotations.

After editing or working with your PDF file in the program, to convert PDF into PDF/A, click Convert > click the down arrow next To Image option and select To PDF/A option.

The PDF file will be successfully saved on the output folder location. To access it, use the Open button under the Status tab
