Archive Readiness Report for accessibility and archive readiness
Archive Readiness Report in Fileza helps teams prepare PDFs for long-term storage, public records, and controlled document retention. Upload a PDF to inspect metadata, PDF/A identification, output intent, font embedding, encryption, active content, embedded files, external links, text extraction, and page-level risks that may affect preservation.
Archive workflows need more than a file that opens today. Fonts should remain renderable, metadata should be clear, active content should be removed, important information should not depend only on external links, and scanned pages may need OCR. Fileza gives low, medium, and high severity labels so teams can decide what to fix before deposit or publication.
The tool includes a downloadable JSON report, PDF report export, suggested fixes, organization profile templates, and a veraPDF-compatible adapter readiness marker for stronger future validation. It is designed for legal, finance, education, public-sector, procurement, and client-delivery workflows. The report also supports team conversations about which copy should be preserved, which source files should be retained, and which PDF features should be removed before long-term storage. It helps create a repeatable pre-archive checklist without making false guarantees.
This report is not a preservation certificate. For formal PDF/A or records compliance, use a trusted export process, keep source files where required, and validate with a full archive/compliance validator.
