Questions
Is the result a validated PDF/A?
No. It is an archive-style copy that has not been validated, so check it if an office requires strict PDF/A.
What is PDF/A?
A version of PDF meant for long-term archiving: fonts are embedded and features that could stop it opening in future, such as scripts, are not allowed.
Are my files uploaded?
Runs in your browser, so your file is not uploaded.
Is PDF to PDF/A free?
Yes. No signup and no watermark.
Will it work on an old phone?
Yes for most files. On low-memory phones files up to 20 MB are safest; above your device's limit you get a warning and can try anyway.
Does it work on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android?
Yes. It runs in any current browser, so there is nothing to install on any of them.
