Because you mentioned that the file will go to a government repository, I wonder if you mean an accessible PDF?

PDF/A = Archival, for recordkeeping of critical documents.

PDF/UA = Universal Access (accessible for those with disabilities).

Ok, since they do not say what kind of PDF/A your task is easier. Most PDF files can be converted easily to PDF/A-1b. But I am not sure if this feature is in Acrobat Standard.

In my version of Acrobat Pro, I use File > Save As Other > Artchivable PDF (PDF/A).


PS. you can click Settings in the Save As dialog to choose which PDF/A version.

PDF/A-1a or PDF/A-1b or other...? There are big important differences. Do you subscribe to Adobe Acrobat Pro? Do you have the Word original documents? (Please answer all of the questions).

I don't know which PDF/A version is required. Te PDF documents we are required to submit are standard corporate statements on company letterhead.

I Have Adobe Acrobat Standard DC (32-bit)

I don't have the word original documents
