Common questions
PDF/A Converter FAQ
Will text and forms remain editable?
No. Pages are flattened to preserve their visual appearance, so searchable text, links, forms, layers and accessibility tags are removed.
Is the result certified as PDF/A compliant?
No. PDF Mixo supplies a readiness report and SHA-256 hash, but regulated submissions should still be checked by the receiving archive or a dedicated validator.
How it works
Three simple steps
Open your PDF
Create the PDF/A-2b copy
