Convert a PDF to PDF/A
Stamp PDF/A-2B conformance metadata onto a PDF for long-term archiving.
Mae's PDF/A converter writes the PDF/A-2B identification metadata and XMP conformance block that archival systems and records-management tools look for, along with a clean producer/creator tag. It's a best-effort browser pass — for guaranteed strict PDF/A validation on complex files, pair it with a dedicated preflight check.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a full PDF/A conversion?
It's a best-effort pass that adds the required PDF/A-2B metadata; deeply non-conformant PDFs (e.g. with unembedded fonts) may still need further remediation for strict validators.
Why would I need PDF/A?
PDF/A is the ISO standard for long-term digital archiving, required by many government, legal and institutional record systems.
