Create an archival PDF/A-2b output using Ghostscript. This guide explains the practical workflow, what to check in the output and when another tool is a better fit.
When to use this tool
Upload the PDF and create the available PDF/A-2b archival-oriented output. Retain the original for comparison.
A practical example
Convert a simple final report whose long-term visual appearance matters.
Check the exported result
Review fonts, images, colour and page count, then use an independent PDF/A validator when formal compliance is required.
Common problems and limits
A successful export is not independent certification. Encryption, embedded media and unusual document features can conflict with archival requirements.
Choose the next step
Flatten PDF has a different purpose: making supported fields and annotations static.
Files, privacy and saving
This workflow uses temporary server processing after your consent. Review the upload notice and avoid processing material you are not authorised to use. Keep your original, review the downloaded result and choose a clear filename before sharing it. The privacy policy explains the processing approach.
