Adobe Acrobat Pro DC Training (PDF/A) | Certified Trainer
PDF/A is an ISO-standardized version of the PDF format, specifically designed for the long-term archiving and preservation of digital documents. Unlike standard PDFs, PDF/A prohibits certain features that are unsuitable for archival purposes, such as encryption or font linking, thereby ensuring content integrity and longevity.
This format guarantees a faithful and durable rendering of original documents: fonts, images, graphic elements, and layout are preserved regardless of the platform or software used. It is the reference format for maintaining readability and compliance over time.
