What you provide
One unlocked PDF up to 10 MB and 100 pages.
PDF and document workbench
Create a self-contained raster PDF/A-1b archival copy.
Render every page into sRGB pixels, rebuild a non-interactive PDF, add an sRGB output intent and identify PDF/A-1b in XMP metadata.

Choose one unlocked PDF. The source remains unchanged and the result downloads separately.
Files are sent only when you run the tool; no server-side job history is created.
Product contract
Understand PDF to PDF/A before processing
Render every page into sRGB pixels, rebuild a non-interactive PDF, add an sRGB output intent and identify PDF/A-1b in XMP metadata.
What you receive
One _nirmion_tools_pdfa_1b.pdf with raster pages, sRGB output intent and PDF/A-1b identification metadata.
What to review
Rasterization flattens text, links, forms, layers and signatures. Regulated archives should validate the result with their required conformance tool.
Workflow
From source to checked download
The workspace checks files and processor readiness before enabling the operation.
One unlocked PDF up to 10 MB and 100 pages.
No extra setting is required. The conversion favors self-contained visible appearance over editability or small file size.
Open the result, compare every page, then run the validator required by your records policy before treating it as an archival master.
Common uses
When PDF to PDF/A is useful
Create a self-contained raster PDF/A-1b archival copy.
Create a flattened reference copy for a records workflow.
Remove interactive behavior before long-term visual retention.
Prepare a candidate PDF/A-1b file for policy-specific validation.
Important boundary
Metadata identification is not your final compliance approval.
Archive requirements vary. Use the mandated validator and retention process for regulated records.
Practical help
Questions before you run it
Is the text still selectable?
No. This profile is produced from rasterized page appearance.
Why can the file grow?
Every page is embedded as an image to remove external and interactive dependencies.
Is independent validation needed?
Yes, whenever a policy or regulator requires conformance evidence.
Document workflow
Use PDF to PDF/A online with a bounded local API.
