Court e-filing systems often reject PDFs that lack a proper PDF/A format. GekiPDF converts your document to PDF/A-2b, embedding all fonts and adding an output intent so the file meets submission rules. Encryption is stripped automatically because PDF/A does not allow it. Upload a file up to 50 MB and get a compliant version in seconds.
No signup, no watermark, and files are deleted after one hour. You can convert up to 40 files per hour from your IP address. If your original has password protection or simple encryption, the converter handles it during the process—just upload and download the result.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly does GekiPDF change when converting to PDF/A?
It embeds all fonts used in the document and adds an output intent color profile. It also removes any encryption, since PDF/A standards prohibit it. The visual layout stays identical.
Will my scanned legal documents work with this tool?
Yes, as long as the source is a valid PDF under 50 MB. Scanned pages become part of the converted file; OCR is not included, but font embedding applies to any text layers present.
How fast is the conversion for a typical filing?
Most files convert in under a minute. A 20-page brief usually takes about 10 seconds. You can do up to 40 conversions per hour.
