How to make an archival PDF
- Choose a PDF of up to 40 pages.
- Flatten it. Pages become images inside a new PDF.
- The download is named as an archival PDF. It is not certified PDF/A.
Questions
Will this pass a PDF/A validator?
Do not rely on it. Formal PDF/A also needs embedded fonts, an output intent and metadata this flatten does not certify.
Can I still select the text?
No. The archival copy is a picture of each page. Keep the original if you need the text layer.
Your files stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
