Hi Guenter,

PDF/A is a document format for long term preservation so it has some
constraints to facilitate this. See ISO 19005 for details or [1]
(provided by the Library of Congress) for an overview over these
constraints. Here is the relevant excerpt:

- Encryption is disallowed
- Audio and video content are forbidden
- Javascript and executable file launches are prohibited
- All fonts must be embedded and also must be legally embeddable for
unlimited, universal rendering
- Colorspaces specified in a device-independent manner
- Use of standards-based metadata is mandated

many thanks. Without knowing the details I had in mind, that "archived
pdf documents" were "revisionssicher".

You probably want the signed PDFs and checking them ensures a PDF has not been tampered with. AOO doesn't yet support it [1], but there are
third-party tools for signing the PDF or for encrypting the file itself.

Are there tools, to produce readable "really protected" pdf documents?

Depends what you mean. Signing with strong cryptography gives a good assurance that it hasn't been tampered with.
