To meet some client requirements I have to covert a few hundred PDF documents from PDF (1.3 I believe, created using the Mac OS system print dialog), to PDF/A. Is there an easy way or a tool to do that?
This is easy to do in Acrobat.
You can set it up using the Action Wizard (in Tools when you open the application). Add a save command, in its options select “Export files to an alternative format” and select PDF/A.

Thanks Rob. I take it that’s the full version of Acrobat, not Reader?
Yes, it is with the full version of Adobe Acrobat.
If it’s just a one-off you can get a 7 day free trial: https://acrobat.adobe.com/us/en/free-trial-download.html

You’ll need to check the forum, but I saw something about PDF/A in DEVONthink 4 Beta. It might be worth checking out. One of my favorite things about Devonthink is the ability to bulk convert files.
