Why hr teams convert a PDF to PDF/A
For a new hire, HR merges the contract, handbook and benefits summary into one onboarding pack, sends it for e-signature, and redacts personal data before filing the copy — inside a private workspace.
Built for offer letters. Whether it's offer letters, contracts, policy documents, Arthize's pdf to pdf/a keeps the work inside your private workspace. HR handles salaries, ID scans and personal data. Those files must be processed privately and never retained by an outside tool.
What matters when you convert a PDF to PDF/A

Many courts and archives require PDF/A for submitted documents.
Converting to PDF/A is how you future-proof a record.
