How to set "Adobe PDF" virtual printer driver for creating "pdf/a-2"?

There is only "PDF/A-1B" in "Standard compatibility" settings.

We need this settings for PDF/A "PDF/A-2 Part 2: Use of ISO 32000-1 2011-06-20 ISO 19005-2 PDF 1.7 (ISO 32000-1:2008)" as it described in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF/A#PDF/A-2.

You help me very much! I start process of refunding money for our team order of Acrobat. In ABBYY Finereader PDF you can create "PDF/A-2" and "PDF/A-3" directly from virtual PDF printer. We use virtual PDF printer driver for creating a big amount of PDF/A files for cadastral activities and using "Acrobat Pro DC" for converting PDF files to PDF/A-2 format is quite inconvenient.

Don't use a virtual printer, use Acrobat : File menu : Save as other : Archivable PDF :

Thank you! But I don't have "Archivable PDF" choice under "Save as other". Maybe due to I don't have "Acrovat Pro DC" but only "Stanbdard DC"?
