Description:
PDF/A-1 is a format created by subsetting the PDF 1.4 format, with the aim of prohibiting features unsuitable for long-term archiving, such as font linking (as opposed to font embedding) and encryption. Other formats in the PDF/A family are as follows:
- PDF/A-2: "Part 2: Use of ISO 32000-1" (2011-06-20)
- PDF/A-3: "Part 3: Use of ISO 32000-1 with support for embedded files" (2012-10-15)
- PDF/A-4: "Part 4: Use of ISO 32000-2" (2020-11)
Centres should note that Part 1 references an obsolete version of PDF, while parts 2 and 3 reference the fully open PDF 1.7.
For more details, see a Wikipedia overview or consult the standards documents, where available.
VeraPDF is an open-source validator for PDF/A formats.
