Bluebeam Tip: Ensure Long-Term Document Integrity with PDF/A Compliance in Bluebeam Revu

Ensuring your PDFs comply with PDF/A helps preserve their integrity for long-term archiving and reliable access. Bluebeam Revu enables you to run compliance checks swiftly, identifying issues that might affect your file’s archivability. Below are simple steps to help you verify and maintain PDF/A standards in your documents.

• Open the desired PDF in Revu and select Document > Process > PDF/A Validation. This feature scans the document, looking for any non-compliant elements such as dynamic content or color profiles. Once identified, it flags them for review and possible correction in Revu.
• Review the generated report, which outlines the exact areas requiring attention. Eliminating actions like JavaScript usage or embedded multimedia can help your document meet PDF/A’s static-content rules. Adjust color calibration or change fonts to ensure complete conformity.
• Once you have resolved the issues, run another validation to confirm compliance. Consider saving a separate PDF/A file version if you need to preserve both the verified document and the original.

Maintaining PDF/A compliance ensures your company's documentation stays consistent, secure, and future-proof. Regular checks also avoid potential headaches during audits or legal inquiries, as standard compliance is increasingly mandated. Beyond the built-in validation, it is wise to keep an eye on potential changes in regulations that might impact your workflow. Bluebeam Revu’s flexible platform allows you to update your processes adaptively, ensuring ongoing compliance.
