- Embed or validate fonts.
- Validate color profile and metadata requirements.
- Reject incompatible annotations and embedded files with a clear report.
- Return pass/fail validation evidence to the user.
Convert / upload mode roadmap
PDF to PDF/A Roadmap
PDF/A conversion requires standards validation, font handling and color profile checks. VaultPDF will not claim compliance without validator-backed output.
how it works
Designed for the shortest private path.
- Use local resize, metadata and page tools today.
- PDF/A requires validator-backed output.
- Compliance mode will ship only with a documented pass/fail report.
advanced feature boundary
PDF/A is not shipped in the local MVP yet.
This feature needs a higher quality bar than the current browser-only pipeline. If it later requires upload or AI processing, VaultPDF will separate it from local tools and ask for explicit consent before any file leaves the browser.

PDF/A compliance gate
Output must pass a standards validator instead of simply setting metadata that says PDF/A.

- No PDF/A validator integrated.

faq
Practical boundaries before you process a file.
Why not simply save as PDF/A?
PDF/A is a compliance format. Fonts, metadata, color profiles and embedded files must be validated.
Will VaultPDF show validation results?
Yes. A future PDF/A feature should include a clear validation report.
