Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I need PDF/A instead of a regular PDF?+

PDF/A guarantees a document will look identical decades from now by embedding all fonts and removing dependencies on external resources | it's often required for legal, government, or archival records.

Will converting to PDF/A change how my document looks?+

No, the visible layout stays the same; the conversion changes internal structure (like font embedding) rather than appearance.

Does PDF/A support interactive features like forms or JavaScript?+

Certain PDF/A conformance levels restrict features like embedded JavaScript, since the standard prioritizes long-term, self-contained readability.
