Adobe to Contribute Entire PDF Specification to AIIM - ISO
|
|
The most interesting news this morning is that Adobe is contributing the entire PDF specification to the open standards process. According to the Adobe press release (reproduced in full at the end of this post), the specification will be contributed to AIIM, which currently administers those component parts of the PDF specification that Adobe had previously made available for standardization. When AIIM has completed the preparation work and its membership has adopted the new material, it will be submitted to ISO.

This is very good news for those that use the PDF formats, and would like to have input into the future of those formats (they'll now be able to do so with respect to all, and not just some, of its parts). And it's even better news for the future of document preservation, since both editable (ODF) as well as "lockable" (PDF) documents will now be fully under the control of international standard setting bodies.
