I did research a bit. It is possible to create a PDF/A compliant document from LaTeX. It looks like you have to do some work though. Please looks at this thread at StackExchange. I found that to be very helpful. https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/130201/pdf-a-with-hyperref-on-tex-live-2013/136653#136653 Please let me know how it works out for you. -H -- Henning Follmann | hfollm...@itcfollmann.com
