§ 10 The standard PDF/A format 05 points

A format meant to last

PDF/A (the ISO 19005 standard) is the PDF profile made for long term archiving: fonts, colour profiles and metadata are built into the file, so that it displays identically for decades. Anything that could get in the way of a future reading (external content, scripts, encryption) is excluded from it. Two free tools, processed in France, are there for you: convert to PDF/A and check PDF/A compliance. The files are deleted after processing.

  • 01Conversion to PDF/A-1b, 2b (recommended) or 3b
  • 02Level 3b allows attachments (Factur-X for instance)
  • 03Validation with veraPDF, the reference validator
  • 04Useful for archiving with evidential weight and for public tenders
