Can someone please tell me what attributes make a given file format more suitable for long term storage over another?
- vibbix 2y agoEverything for the document (fonts, images, etc) are all stored within the document file. It's entirely self-contained.
- MarioMan 2y agoAmong other things, it usually means that the file type has wide interoperability (which makes it more likely you can open it in the far future) and comes in a format resistant to damage, so if bits are changed or removed, you can still recover the rest of the document (usually this means avoiding compressed formats). As to how well-suited PDF/A is for these aspects, I'm not experienced enough to say.
