Document Archiving
Archiving refers to a process that saves documents to maintain visual appearance for long-term preservation. Explore what Datalogics, an Adobe Portfolio Partner, can do to optimize your document archiving.
Why Is Document Archiving Important?
While the default PDF specification meets the needs of most businesses, many organizations have strict requirements when it comes to document preservation. Industries with heavy regulations need to find a reliable and trustworthy method of archiving files. An engineering firm may need to keep technical blueprints, a legal office needs to maintain legal bills and court records, or a finance firm is required to keep strict records.
There are many different versions of PDF/A out there to meet different specifications. Datalogics can help you adhere to your industry regulations with our document archiving technologies.

Make Critical Archives Compliant
You have a backlog of historic PDFs that need to be archived so your finance firm can meet industry compliance. It’s imperative that your PDF/A files actually meet the specification to avoid costly fines and legal action, so you need a solution you can trust. Preserve your documents as PDF/A-1, PDF/A-2, or PDF/A-3. See chart below for more details.
Convert Non-PDF Files to PDF/A
Preservation of files can be a little tricky if your team likes to work with office files. Word docs, excel files, and powerpoint presentations don’t meet industry regulations for archiving by default. Automated conversion to PDF/A ensures all of your documentation meets preservation requirements. Use our document conversion solutions to convert existing docs to PDF/A.
ZUGFeRD Requirements Are Expanding
ZUGFeRD is an invoice standard based on PDF/A-3 plus XML data set forth by the German Government. There’s a big push for governments to use this standard in the future, with interest expected to expand to other markets, including the USA. Our solutions allow you to add ZUGFeRD compliance to your document preservation workflow.
