How to use Validated PDF/A-2b Conversion (Server Required) online

The server can produce PDF/A-2b candidates with Ghostscript, but a file can be downloaded as PDF/A only after independent veraPDF validation passes. Otherwise this tool remains disabled.

Step-by-step

  1. Check the server availability message before uploading any file.
  2. Choose a PDF within the displayed upload size limit.
  3. Enter required settings and run the real server processing engine, if available.
  4. Open the result independently; PDF/A files are released only after veraPDF validation.

When Validated PDF/A-2b Conversion (Server Required) is useful

  • Convert to a PDF/A-2b candidate when required engines are installed
  • Block output that fails independent conformance validation
  • Use an external specialist when another PDF/A profile is required

Tips for better results

If a court, records office, or archive specifies PDF/A-1, PDF/A-2, PDF/A-3, or another exact profile, use a validator that confirms that required conformance level before submission.
