Adlib and PDF/A By joining the PDF/A Competence Center, Adlib is committed to the ongoing development and maintenance of global standards for digital archiving, known as PDF Archive (PDF/A). PDF/A is the ISO standard used for the long-term archiving of converted and scanned documents and is currently generating a great deal of interest in the market. Adlib’s portfolio of PDF conversion, recognition and publishing solutions provides enterprise-grade offering for creating PDF files. Adlib products support the following PDF/A functionality:

  • Validation Tools: As an active member of the PDF/A Competence Center, Adlib tested the quality of our PDF/A capabilities using files from the Isartor Test Suite, which resulted in 99% success where it successfully detected 202 out of 204 documents that were not PDF/A-1b compliant.
  • Preflight checks: Adlib can automate the validation PDF documents for PDF/A-1b compliance.
  • PDF to PDF/A Repair: Adlib is able to correct a wide range of issues associated with legacy PDFs to maximize the number that will become a valid/accessible PDF/A for long-term archival. Adlib will correct namespaces, tags and properly embed fonts to enable enterprises to achieve a higher success rate than with other solutions. This reduces costs by automating what would otherwise be a time-consuming and difficult manual repair of the documents.
  • Optimal Fidelity and Searchability: Some vendors take a simplified approach to PDF/A by flattening files to an image format then wrapping that image with a PDF/A wrapper. It is a valid solution, but loses the true value which is the important original content within the document. Adlib extends the notion of searchability by taking documents that arrive as images and turning them into a searchable, validated PDF/A, using industry-leading OCR technology, allowing the content to be properly searched and leveraged by the enterprise.
