Mail archiving - Ignorance despite legal regulations?

The archiving of e-mails in accordance with the existing law is still being disregarded in many companies, in spite of unequivocal regulations. But it can be so easy in Lotus Notes / Domino - when using the right product. Develop the perfect application for your company using n2pdf!

n2pdf meets the most important criteria to provide optimal archiving in accordance with the existing law: PDF/A (ISO standard 19005-1:2005)

n2pdf supports PDF/A

PDF/A is an ISO-standardized version of the "Portable Document Format" (PDF). PDF/A (A = Archiving) is a subset of the PDF options specifically for the requirements of long-term archiving and barrier freedom, and also for reproduction on mobile terminals such as PDAs. This standard is a subset of PDF 1.4 and is specified under ISO 19005-1:2005.

The standard specifies two levels of conformity:

  • PDF/A-1a - Level A conformance in part 1
  • PDF/A-1b - Level B conformance in part 1 (restricted requirements)

Note: The new version PDF/A-2 is currently still in the standardization process. It is based on the PDF Reference Version 1.6 and is not yet supported by n2pdf.

Conformity

  • Level A conformityA Level A conformant PDF file meets all requirements of the ISO Standard 19005-1:2005. A file like this is called "PDF/A-1a conformant".
  • Level B conformity
    A Level B conformant PDF file meets all requirements of the ISO Standard 19005-1:2005 which relate to the visual appearance of the electronic document. Structural or semantic settings need not be observed. A file like this is called "PDF/A-1b conformant".
