We still ask for hard copies of reports plus a pdf.

Subject: PDF/A reports
Hi everyone,
Last year we said that contractors could start sending us PDF/A documents instead of hard copies. Unfortunately, creating PDF/A files sometimes seems to be quite difficult for people! (I discovered the easiest
way to make a validating PDF/A is to use ‘save as’ in Word 2010, thanks to helpful OASIS staff.)
I don’t know if anyone else has thought about this. Does anyone else require PDF/As or is everyone still taking hard copies? A lot of contractors never seem to send hard copies any more, but without getting
archival PDFs there’s no guarantee the things will still open in 30 years.
Every so often these sorts of things worry me.

What I’d really like is some kind of idiot proof guide to making the things that I can send to confused contractors. I doubt one exists…
