3. • PDF/A is an ISO-standardized version and a subset of PDF that is meant for archiving
information
• The "A" stands for “Archive”
• In order to preserve the information in the file and to ensure that content is still available
after a long time of storage
• PDF/A sets a stricter standard than PDF
• PDF/A is different from PDF:
• Prohibiting features ill-suited to long-term archiving, such as font linking (as opposed to
font embedding)
• Metadata is embedded using the XMP format
