San Jose, California – Adobe Systems (Nasdaq:ADBE) today revealed its intention of releasing the full Portable Document Format (PDF) specification to AIIM, an enterprise content management association, for publication by International Organization for Standards (ISO).
PDF has become a global standard for providing secured and dependable information exchange since the publication of the complete PDF specification in 1993. Today both the public and private sector rely on PDF for exchanging volumes of electronic records over the Internet and other networks and in some cases preserving information for generations.
“The announcement made today marks a logical step to evolve PDF from a de-facto standard to a formal, de-jure standard” said Kevin Lynch, Senior Vice President and Chief Software Architect at Adobe Systems. He also emphasized that this full release of specifications for ISO standards shows their commitment toward openness.
Adobe will be releasing the full PDF specifications as described in the Reference manual which is available at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html to AIIM for the purpose of submitting to ISO. The basic work for the joint committee formed under AIIM is to identify issues that needs attention, as well proposing solutions, and developing a draft document which will be presented to the Joint Working Group of ISO for the development and approval as an international standard.
