FWIW, PDF is not a proprietary format (it's ISO 32000-1:2008). DVI is not an appropriate format for (true) archiving because font info is not stored.

Quite a good tutorial on creating PDF/A files from pdflatex here: http://support.river-valley.com/wiki/index.php?title=Generating_PDF/A_compliant_PDFs_from_pdftex

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
