/**
 * The PDF/A conformance level to target when converting a document with
 * [[PDFDocument.convertToPDFA]].
 *
 * The number denotes the PDF/A _part_:
 * - `1` — PDF/A-1 (ISO 19005-1, based on PDF 1.4)
 * - `2` — PDF/A-2 (ISO 19005-2, based on PDF 1.7)
 * - `3` — PDF/A-3 (ISO 19005-3, based on PDF 1.7, allows arbitrary attachments)
 *
 * The letter denotes the _conformance level_:
 * - `B` (Basic) — guarantees reliable visual reproduction.
 * - `U` (Unicode, parts 2 & 3 only) — like `B`, but additionally requires that
 *   all text has Unicode mappings.
 *
 * Level `A` (Accessible) is intentionally not offered: it requires a fully
 * tagged, logically structured document, which cannot be produced automatically
 * from an arbitrary PDF.
