OCR PDF
Make scanned PDFs searchable through the signed worker pipeline.
Advanced
PDF to PDF/A
Rewrite a PDF into a PDF/A-style archival output through the signed worker pipeline.
DocNimble writes tool pages to answer a practical question: what does this tool do, who should use it, and can it actually run right now? That keeps the page useful for Google and for visitors who need a clear decision before uploading a document.
Beta Not implemented Min plan Pro
Status note
This tool now has a signed worker submission and callback contract, but it stays out of the live registry until a real remote worker is configured and proven.
Public status: Beta
Capability status: Not implemented
Workspace state: Locked
How this tool works
- Upload the source file.
- DocNimble submits a signed request to the worker.
- A signed callback completes the job and unlocks the download.
When to use PDF to PDF/A
This tool is useful when the main problem matches its name exactly. If your issue is page order, use an organize workflow. If your issue is file size, use an optimization workflow. If your issue is privacy or access control, use a secure workflow. DocNimble tries to keep these distinctions clear so visitors do not waste time clicking through unrelated PDF tools.
Current limitation
Worker URL is empty, so OCR and Office conversions remain worker-pending. Worker tools require at least the Pro plan plus a configured remote worker URL and shared secret. Callback proof upgrades trust further.
Execution readiness
- Preferred engine: Worker Engine (not_configured)
- Fallback engine: None (unassigned)
- Requirements: Requires worker URL, worker secret and at least one signed submission path. Callback proof upgrades trust further.
- Runner implemented: Yes
- Minimum plan: Pro
- Workspace note: PDF to PDF/A requires the Pro plan in the workspace.
Privacy note
Files run through the private workspace rather than directly from the public page. Completed outputs are exposed through tokenized downloads, and the privacy page explains retention in plain language without making impossible claims.

Why this page exists even before every tool is live
Tool pages help visitors discover the right workflow, understand limitations, and decide whether the current build already supports their task. That is useful for search, for user trust, and for future expansion, provided the page never hides the real execution state.
