Frequently asked questions
Which PDF/A profile is produced?
PDF/A-2b by default, which is the most widely-accepted archival profile.

PDF/A requires embedding missing fonts and ICC color profiles, which is heavyweight to ship in a browser bundle.
Is my file deleted after conversion?
Yes. Uploaded files are deleted as soon as the job finishes.
