What is PDF/A ?

PDF/A is the standard electronic document file format for long term archival that has been ratified by the International Standards Organization (ISO) as ISO 19005-1.

Why PDF/A ?

The vast quantities of PDF's that are created everyday in businesses around the world require that a standard be defined to ensure that documents remain readable and accessible. Not all of the features of PDF files are self contained however. Over time, external dependencies can be broken causing information to be lost. PDF/A is the standard to ensure document archives maintain content integrity.
