FAQ: PDF/A for Kazakhstan
How does PDF/A differ from regular PDF?
Regular PDF can reference external fonts/resources and embed JavaScript or encryption. PDF/A forbids all of these — the file must remain fully readable in 50 years, even offline.
Which PDF/A level is exported?
Export uses PDF/A-2b — a balance between compatibility and modern features (Unicode, JPEG2000).
Why do government agencies require PDF/A?
GOST R 54989-2012 and many international regulators mandate PDF/A for archival documents. It guarantees the file will open in 30+ years.
Can I validate PDF/A compliance?
Yes — the free veraPDF (https://verapdf.org/) produces a detailed compliance report.
Do you guarantee one hundred percent conformance to the standard?
We build the document by the PDF/A-2b rules and set all the required markers, but the final verdict comes from a validator. If the file is going into an archive or a regulatory submission, spend a minute checking it in veraPDF — that is standard acceptance practice.
