# Use this script to convert random PDFs to PDF/A (e.g. figures).
# Unfortunately, ghostscript can not retain the PDF/A metadata. In result, if
# you use this on the thesis, it _will_ become PDF/A compliant (and SIS will
# accept it), but won't contain the magic PDF/A "stamp" and will show only as
# normal PDF-1.4. :(
