Why project managers convert a PDF to PDF/A
A project manager merges status reports and the plan into one stakeholder update, compares two revisions of a scope document, and archives the signed-off deliverable.
Built for status reports. Whether it's status reports, project plans, meeting minutes, Arthize's pdf to pdf/a keeps the work inside your private workspace. Project documents can be commercially sensitive; private processing protects client and vendor data.
