What this tool does
Create a local image-only compatibility archive. Pages are rendered as images before export with the selected PDF/A profile. Selectable text, links, forms, accessibility structure and digital signatures are not retained.
- What you can open
- One PDF and a PDF/A-1b, PDF/A-2b or PDF/A-3b profile. The source file is kept unchanged.
- What you will download
- An image-only PDF/A export using the selected profile, without selectable text or interactive features.
How to use it
- Check the required PDF/A profile and whether an image-only archive is acceptable.
- Select the profile and run the local image-based export.
- Inspect the rendered pages and independently validate the actual output when formal conformance is required.
Options explained
Know the tradeoffs
- Selectable text, links, forms, accessibility structure and digital signatures are not retained.
- Enlarged pages may look less sharp and files may grow. A successful export is not a conformance certificate.
Questions about this tool
Which PDF/A levels are available?
PDF/A-1b, PDF/A-2b and PDF/A-3b profiles are available; every profile uses image-only page content.
Is the download itself a compliance certificate?
No. Independently validate the actual output when formal proof is required. This image-only copy is not searchable text or an accessible document.
