»Adobe To Submit PDF To ISO

Impressive news from Adobe and for the entire PDF community. <a href="http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200701/012907OpenPDFAIIM.html">Adobe will submit the entire PDF specification to ISO</a>. This is a great move to cement PDF in the open standards world.

PDF has become a de facto global standard for more secure and dependable information exchange since Adobe published the complete PDF specification in 1993. Both government and private industry have come to rely on PDF for the volumes of electronic records that need to be more securely and reliably shared, managed, and in some cases preserved for generations. Since 1995 Adobe has participated in various working groups that develop technical specifications for publication by ISO and worked within the ISO process to deliver specialized subsets of PDF as standards for specific industries and functions. Today, PDF for Archive (PDF/A) and PDF for Exchange (PDF/X) are ISO standards, and PDF for Engineering (PDF/E) and PDF for Universal Access (PDF/UA) are proposed standards. Additionally, PDF for Healthcare (PDF/H) is an AIIM proposed Best Practice Guide. AIIM serves as the administrator for PDF/A, PDF/E, PDF/UA and PDF/H.

This is great. PDF is excellent for any number of uses. I have to migrate many documents from M$ to linux and use PDFs as an end all to be referenced in both systems. Maybe now we will get a better universal set of tools for them.

I am happy to see this happening. To be honest I thought this would have happened earlier. But maybe that is just because I thing this will be a good idea. Thanks for the information. I had not seen this yet.
