PDF/A is the ISO 19005 standard for long-term archiving: fonts are embedded and external dependencies removed, so the file renders identically decades later.
GekiPDF converts your PDF to PDF/A-2 with a conservative colour strategy, which is what most compliance workflows ask for.

Frequently asked questions
What is PDF/A used for?
Legal and public-sector archives, invoices that must stay readable for 10+ years, and any compliance checklist that demands PDF/A.
Does PDF/A break links?
Internal links and annotations are allowed in PDF/A-2.
Will the file get bigger?
Often yes, because fonts are embedded for self-containment.
What is PDF/A and why would I convert to it?
PDF/A is the ISO archiving profile: fonts embedded, colour managed, no external dependencies. Use PDF/A-2b for documents that must open identically in ten years.
