Questions

What is PDF/A?

A version of PDF made for long-term storage. Fonts are embedded and nothing depends on outside files, so it opens the same in years to come. Courts and archives often ask for it.

Are my files stored?

No. Your files are only used to make the result and aren't stored after processing.

Do I need an account?

No. The PDF tools are free to use without signing up.
