PDF/A and LexNET

Free + Pro What Pro adds here: converting to PDF/A and the LexNET preset; checking a PDF is free.

Check whether a PDF meets PDF/A or convert it, with a preset for LexNET filings. In your browser, without uploading the file.

Open in the app The app opens with this tool already selected. Your PDF is not uploaded anywhere.

How it works

Open a PDF and the tool checks it against the PDF/A rules and tells you what it meets and what it does not. Checking is free.

Converting to PDF/A and applying the LexNET preset (searchable text, size, and attachments within legal filing requirements) is a Pro feature. The result is a new copy; your original is not touched.

Everything happens in your browser's memory. If the document uses fonts it does not embed, the tool uses free substitute fonts shipped with the site and says so.

What is not preserved, and limits

  • Some documents cannot be converted (for example, with encryption or content PDF/A does not allow); the tool then explains why instead of giving a doubtful result.
  • Very large files may be slow or fail, especially on phones, because everything is computed in your device's memory.

Frequently asked questions

Does checking PDF/A cost anything?

No, checking is free. Converting and the LexNET preset are part of Pro.

Is my filing uploaded to a server?

No. Checking and converting happen in your browser.

Does it guarantee LexNET accepts it?

No. Meeting PDF/A does not guarantee that a court or a platform will accept it: we apply the known criteria, but the rules of each venue can change. Always review the result.

Why it is different

This tool works inside your browser. The file you choose stays on your device and is not sent to any server. That is why you do not need an account or an email to use it.
