Validate PDF/A: Check and Confirm Compliance

A fast, reliable way to check whether your PDFs truly meet the PDF/A archival standard — ideal for compliance, document management, and e-invoicing workflows.

Why it matters

PDF/A is the global standard for long-term digital preservation. Organizations handling legal, archival, or financial documents must ensure their PDFs actually comply with the claimed conformance level.
The new Validate PDF/A converter helps you automatically confirm that compliance — before archiving, sharing, or processing — saving time and preventing costly workflow errors.

Why it helps

• Confirms true PDF/A compliance for archiving and regulatory use.
• Detects the claimed PDF/A level automatically or enforces a specific one.
