PDF to PDF/A

Convert a PDF to the PDF/A archival format for long-term storage — see this page for what's reliably possible in a browser today. Genuine PDF/A compliance depends on verifying embedded fonts, ICC colour profiles and XMP metadata against the PDF/A spec — a validation engine this static build does not bundle. Producing a file that merely looks converted without passing real validation would be a false claim, so this stays unavailable until that's solved properly.
