How Drawboard Makes It Easy to Convert PDFs to PDF/A
Preserve Your Document for Long-Term Use
PDF/A is the gold standard for digital preservation. This tool turns your PDF into a format built for archiving without losing fidelity.
Meet Legal and Regulatory Requirements
PDF/A is required in government (FERMI), legal (eIDAS), and finance (SEC 17a-4). It keeps files compliant, fixed, and future-proof.
Embed Fonts and Lock Content Automatically
The tool embeds fonts, removes dynamic elements like forms or videos, and locks in visual content to meet PDF/A requirements.
Fast, Secure Online Processing
Your file is uploaded only for conversion and never stored. It is deleted after processing.
Maintain Visual Integrity
Your PDF/A file preserves the original layout, but removes editable elements to meet archival standards.
Easy to Use, No Additional Installs
You do not need a PDF editor or standards validation software. Just upload and convert from your browser.
How to Use The PDF to PDF/A Tool
Add your PDF file to the tool by dragging and dropping it in, or select it from your file browser.
Choose Document and PDF/A in the dropdown menu, then click Convert.
Download your PDF/A file from the download panel on the right. For multiple uploads, download them all in a zip file or individually on the left panel.
