Converting existing PDF documents to PDF/A and applying digital signatures is simple. The process corrects common PDF errors. Text recognition is also possible. Revalidation is necessary after conversion.
PDF/A has many advantages over archiving in TIFF format. When converting from TIFF to PDF/A you can add metadata from external sources, carry out text recognition and optimize compression..
When converting digital documents to PDF/A it is important that all information (text and metadata) contained in the source document remain intact in the PDF/A document. This is a huge challenge due to the many different sources.
Digital signatures provide information on when a document was signed, who signed it and whether it has been changed since it was signed. The result is the greatest possible legal security. The following products support digital signatures:
PDF viewers also need to comply with requirements of the ISO standard for PDF/A and display documents in a manner compliant with PDF/A. We offer "Secure Viewing" for PDF/A-compliant signature applications. The method ensures the viewer sees all of the information contained in the document.
Even printing is subject to the ISO PDF/A standard. You can only design a PDF/A-compliant printer if you have studied PDF/A in detail. Handling digital signatures during printing also demands customized control processes according to authorizations.
