Question:
How to Verify Whether a PDF-A Viewable Rendition was Requested for a Document by a Vault User in Veeva Vault?
Answer:
PDF-A Viewable Renditions by navigating to the desired Document and clicking All Actions -> Re-Render Document.
From the available options, select the "I want a rendition in PDF/A format." option.
The Renditions section will indicate if the Viewable Rendition is in a PDF/A format. Standard PDF Viewable Renditions do not display "PDF/A".
Currently, there is no Audit recorded for this action in the Audit Trail. The way to verify if a Vault User has rerendered with alternative settings is by checking the rerender menu again.
If the option "It looked better before. Restore the default settings" and the rendition is PDF/A despite the Rendition Profile or Vault Rendition settings not being set to PDF/A, then it is confirmed that a PDF/A Rendition was manually requested by a Vault User.
In the event, a PDF-A Rendition was requested, all subsequent Document versions will continue to have a PDF-A Viewable Rendition. In order to restore the Standard PDF Viewable Rendition, the option "It looked better before. Restore the default settings" is required to be selected.
If these actions are repeated, the "Previously Attempted" text displays next to the "I want a rendition in PDF/A format." option.
