PDF/A: A Viable Addition to the Preservation Toolkit
PDF/A, the archival version of the PDF file format, is an
International Standards Organization (ISO) vetted, open source tool
that can be added to the librarian's and archivist's preservation
toolkit. This article describes the format itself, the lessons learned
as the authors investigated the tools readily available for creating
PDF/A files and the design of the pilot to test implementation of the
use of the format in The Ohio State University's repository, the
Knowledge Bank. Further, we identify issues in conversion of diverse
original formats; strategies for time-saving batch conversion; and
considerations in deciding whether to attempt full or partial
compliance with the standard.
