Electronic document file format for long-term preservation -- Part 2: Use of ISO 32000-1 (PDF/A)».

PDF/A is an ISO-standardized version of the Portable Document Format (PDF) specialized for use in the archiving and long-term preservation of electronic documents. PDF/A differs from PDF by prohibiting features unsuitable for long-term archiving, such as font linking (as opposed to font embedding) and encryption.

Note to reference poster
Asker: David, thank you. But, what does it mean 'long-term' archiving in the context? I presume ALL the PC file formats theoretically can be stored as long as you need to.
