PDF/A: The Guide to Sustainable Digital Archiving

Electronic archiving isn't just about keeping a file on a hard drive. You must guarantee it will be readable in 50 years. **Self-sufficiency**: A PDF/A must contain all resources necessary for its display. Fonts must be embedded, and the use of external content (JavaScript, dynamic links) is strictly prohibited. **Independent Color Space**: PDF/A uses ICC profiles to guarantee that colors will be identical, even if screen technologies change radically. **XMP Metadata**: The standard requires structured metadata to facilitate classification and automated searching by DMS (Document Management System) software. PulsConv allows you to transform your classic PDFs into PDF/A-2b compliance for secure archiving.
