What PDF and PDF/A files are
PDF (Portable Document Format) is a file format developed by Adobe that preserves document formatting across different platforms and devices. PDFs are widely used for sharing documents that need to maintain their original appearance.
PDF/A
PDF/A is the ISO standard version of PDF for long-term archiving, first published in 2005 as ISO 19005. It embeds all fonts and color information and bans features that could stop a file opening years from now, such as encryption, JavaScript and links to outside content, which is why archives and public bodies often ask for it.
