Does the Acrobat Services API support conversion of Word documents to archival compliant PDFA?

I would like to be able to use the Acrobat Services API to convert Word documents (and other formats too) to archival compliant PDFA documents. It is not clear if the createpdf REST api endpoint supports PDFA format. There doesn't seem to be a way of specifying the output format. I would like to be able to create compliant documents and also have a way of verifying that the document is compliant either by using another REST api endpoint or by receiving a certification report in the json response from the createpdf endpoint. Does anyone know if this is possible or in the pipeline for future development?

    We don't currently have a way to convert to PDF/A with the existing APIs.
