How to convert PDF to PDF/A

[Matthew3061536305wu]

I have Adobe Standard, version 2023.003.20201.  This version has a very different GUI than the previous ones.  For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to save a file as PDF/A.  PDF/A is not an option when using "save as", or "save as other".  Where is this option hidden?

It's possible the Standard version doesn't have this option (only Pro). Were you able to do it in the past, using Adobe Standard?

Yes, I was.  PDF/A is nothing special.  It is an old format.

I'm aware of that, but Acrobat Standard has limited functionality compared to Pro, so I thought it might not be able to save to that format. If you say it worked in the past then it should work now, too. However, Adobe keeps moving things around and changing the UI, unfortunately. Maybe it's under a different command now, something like "Export"...

Turns out this option is only available in Acrobat Pro.  Now that I upgraded, it is available to me again.
