Businesses and government agencies of all types regularly scan documents to PDF for creation of electronic documents and records. But what happens when these organizations need to ensure the accessibility of these documents well into the future?

That's where PDF/A comes in. PDF/A was built on the widely accepted PDF file format to establish an international standard for preserving the visual appearance of electronic documents, independent of the tools and systems used for creating, storing or accessing the files.

PDF/A is especially beneficial for organizations that scan large amount of records since it:

Maintains static visual representation of the original scanned documents;
Allows OCR results to be embedded, thus creating full-text searchable PDF files; and
Greatly reduces storage/bandwidth costs by allowing state-of-the art compression techniques.

Because it is an ISO standard (ISO 19005-1), PDF/A has become a vital tool for public or private organizations that must archive electronic files and ensure that they can be accurately reproduced and accessed, regardless of the software or hardware used.

The webinar is FREE, and it's easy to participate.
