PDF encryption vs. PDF/A

Hello,

i have a technical question. Is it possible to protect a PDF with PDF/A conformance with a password without losing the PDf/A conformance?

Kind regards,
Andy

@AStelzner

Yes, you can simply convert a PDF document into PDF/A and then apply password encryption. However, if you are facing some issues, please let us know. We will investigate and share our feedback with you accordingly.

Hi,

exactly this does not work.
After adding password encryption to a PDF/A document, the PDF/A conformance is lost/gone.

Kind Regards,
Andy

That is not working.

After i apply password encryption, the PDF/A conformance is gone!!
