Hi everyone,
I am writing my University thesis with Pages and I really need to know how can I convert it into a PDF/A document.
I can't upload it because the normal PDF format is not valid...
I would be very grateful if someone could help me, thanks a lot.
No version of Pages offers PDF/A document export support because the Apple OS X PDF Quartz libraries are still restricted to PDF v1.3 output. PDF/A-1 requires PDF v1.4, among its other criteria. You will need a third-party, word processing application that uses its own PDF generation package that includes the ability to produce PDF/A output. LibreOffice v5.1.0.3 (current as of this post) has that checkbox in its Print panel.
I exported a Pages document to Word .docx, and then opened that in LibreOffice Writer, where I could export as PDF/A-1a.
Here is the Export to PDF panel in LibreOffice Writer:
And the PDF/A notification when opening this PDF in Adobe Reader 11.0.15.

Probably not a good idea. If your profs use Word, you should too. To convert to pdf/a you may need to use the Word clone open/libreoffice.
