PDF Studio has the ability to convert files in the PDF/A-2b format. PDF/A-2b is a strict subset of the ISO PDF specification used to create archival versions of documents with the intent that they will always render exactly the same as when they were saved.
When converting to PDF Studio will attempt to convert the PDF to the PDF/A-2b format by making the following changes to the document
If any problems occur during preflight conversion, a results list will be displayed showing the content items that could not be fixed. If the conversion completes successfuly the problems list will not be shown and the newly converted document will be opened.
PDF Studio will attempt to convert every file but due to the PDF/A-2b requirements some files may not be able to be converted. If the conversion fails a dialog will be displayed showing the reasons that the conversion failed.
Results List - Lists any content in the document that was not converted with the selected profile.
- Items that could NOT be fixed by PDF Studio.
- Items that were not fixed due to user settings in PDF/A Preferences.
Expand - Expands the results tree to show all preflight error results
Collapse - Collapses the results tree to only show the preflight error categories
Print - Prints the entire tree exactly as it is displayed in the preflight results list
Note: When the conversion is successful no dialog will be displayed as the conversion process completed and saved the new document correctly
Below is a list of features that may cause errors during the PDF/A-2b conversion.
When opening a document that is PDF/A-2b compliant a blue notification "This document is tagged as PDF/A-2b compliant" will be displayed at the bottom of the PDF Studio window. You can also confirm the PDF/A-2b compliance in the document properties dialog.
You can also use the PDF/A-2b Preflight Validation to verify that the document complies with the PDF/A-2b standards
