LuraDocument® PDF/A

PDF/A offers assurance that documents archived in that format will maintain their appearance and readability regardless of which applications and systems were used to create them. LuraDocument PDF/A products create and validate PDF/A documents from all business documents, regardless of whether they are generated from scanned documents, electronic documents produced in MS Office or CAD applications, or pure data streams, such as XML or AFP.

LuraTech’s PDF/A solutions include:

LuraDocument PDF Printer: With a few simple mouse clicks, this virtual printer converts electronic documents from any application into PDF/A files.

LuraDocument PDF Validator: This tool tests and certifies that all PDF files meet PDF/A standards, to ensure files are structured properly and the visual appearance will reliably reproduce.

LuraDocument PDF Compressor: Integrating easily into document imaging workflow, this product family enables conversion of color, grayscale or black-and-white scanned documents into high-quality, highly compressed PDF and PDF/A files using LuraTech’s best-in-class MRC technology. They also offer an integrated ABBYY OCR engine for full text search capabilities in all PDF and PDF/A files.

Why archive documents with PDF/A?

Long-Term Access: PDF/A files are designed to be accessible no matter what platform, technology or vendor a user employs, ensuring that documents can be viewed long into the future without the need for proprietary technology.
Standard: Since PDF/A is based on the ubiquitous PDF standard and a published ISO standard itself, long-term and easy access to content stored in this format is guaranteed.
Information Optimization: PDF/A enables storage of metadata and automatic classification of files based on this information, as well as the ability to perform full text searches of not only a single document, but an entire archive.
Compression: PDF/A supports compression of files to a fraction of the size of originals, without impairing the quality of the electronic document. The smaller size reduces storage space requirements and facilitates electronic transfers via FTP, e-mail attachment or other means.
