Hi Team,

For one of my requirement of pdf to pdf/a conversion, I found your product is very useful.

I have some queries as below:-

1) Instead of converting one by one pdf to pdf/a, can we make it for bulk of pdfs? I need to convert around 2000 PDF files into PDF/A files.

2) If i bought your product, so is there any limit for conversion of pdf files?

Awaiting for your reply.
Thanks,
Customer

Yes, of course, you can convert any number of PDF files to PDF/A files at one time.

The first, you may download VeryDOC PDF to PDF/A Converter Command Line from this web page,

https://www.verydoc.com/pdf-to-pdfa.html
https://www.verydoc.com/pdf2pdfa_cmd.zip

after you download and unzip it to a folder, you may run following command lines to batch convert all of your PDF files to PDF/A files,

#1: Convert all PDF files to PDF/A files in D:\temp folder,

for %F in (D:\temp\*.pdf) do "C:\VeryDOC\pdf2pdfa.exe" -mode 2 "%F" "C:\test\%~nxF.pdf"

#2: Convert all PDF files to PDF/A files in D:\temp folder and sub-folders (recursion),

for /r D:\temp %F in (*.pdf) do "C:\VeryDOC\pdf2pdfa.exe" -mode 2 "%F" "C:\test\%~nxF.pdf"

//You can do same thing in .bat file, but you need use "%%" to instead of "%" in .bat file,

for %%F in (D:\temp\*.pdf) do "C:\VeryDOC\pdf2pdfa.exe" -mode 2 "%%F" "C:\test\%%~nxF.pdf"

for /r D:\temp %%F in (*.pdf) do "C:\VeryDOC\pdf2pdfa.exe" -mode 2 "%%F" "C:\test\%%~nxF.pdf"

>>2) If i bought your product, so is there any limit for conversion of pdf files?

After you bought the VeryDOC PDF to PDF/A Converter Command Line software, you can use it without any restrictions, you can convert any number of PDF files at you want.

My university requires submitted PDF files to be in PDF/A format.

I tried to find a converter, but they are all very complicated.

How do I convert my existing PDF file into a PDF/A?

Thank you very much!
