Frequently Asked Questions

1What standards are checked?

PDF/A-1b, PDF/A-2b for archival, and PDF/UA-1 for accessibility.

2Can I fix compliance issues found?

Yes. The report includes remediation guidance for each failure. Use our conversion and accessibility tools to fix common issues.

3Do I need compliance for my documents?

Government agencies, courts, and regulated industries often require PDF/A for archival and PDF/UA for accessibility compliance.

4What's the difference between PDF/A and PDF/UA?

PDF/A ensures long-term preservation (fonts embedded, no external dependencies). PDF/UA ensures accessibility (tagged structure, alt text, reading order).
