How to convert a PDF to PDF/A for archiving

PDF/A is the ISO standard for long-term document archiving. It embeds all fonts, disallows external dependencies, and requires device-independent colour — guaranteeing the file renders the same decades from now.

Pick a level: PDF/A-1, A-2, or A-3 (default A-2). A-1 is the strictest; A-3 supports embedded attachments.
