I'd like to go a little microservices on this. I was thinking that we need a REST service that takes a document and returns its archive format equivalent. This can even autodetect the mimetype using e.g JHOVE [1]. There are other tools as well.</div>

big files. The largest PDF file I saw in a Noark system is about 250 MB and when I converted 800 000 documents to archive format a few years ago, we saw many random crashes. So I really think it's worthwhile offloading it away from the core.</font></div>

basis so scales nicely.</font></div>

One task we need to implement in the core, is converting PDF files to<br>
PDF/A if they are not already in PDF/A form. I had a quick look, and<br>
found this recipe on<br>

<br>
I wonder, should this be a task done by a API client, or a task done<br>
internally in the server? What do the rest of you think? I suspect<br>
doing it via the API will either loose some metadata or must be done<br>
using operations that allow us to set metadata that normally should not<br>
be modifyable via the API.<br>
