Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a normal PDF and PDF/A?
A standard PDF can rely on external fonts or system configurations to display correctly. PDF/A requires all content and formatting information to be encapsulated within the file, ensuring that it is completely self-contained and future-proof.
Is the quality of my document changed?
No. The conversion process is designed to be visually transparent. Your document will look exactly the same as the original, but it will now contain the structural data necessary to ensure it remains legible for years to come.
Is this process secure?
Your files are processed on our own server and are not shared with third-party cloud services. Temporary files are deleted automatically.
