ISO 32000 is published
As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve had two major projects during 2007 and 2008 - Acrobat 9, which is now shipping, and my work on the transitioning of PDF from Adobe to ISO, which I’ve spoken about as well.
However, while ISO 32000 (part 1) was ratified in January, the standard itself wasn’t actually published until yesterday. But now you can run out, and for just a few Swiss Francs, get your own personalized copy of ISO 32000-1.
AIIM secretary, Betsy Fanning, writes in her blog:
While the committee’s initial work has been completed in getting the standard through the approval and pubication process, the committee’s work is far from over. The focus for the committee will now be to identify new features and functions that may be added to the PDF file and included in the standard. To follow the activities of the US committee for this standard, please visit http://www.aiim.org/Standards/article.aspx?ID=33223.
The committee is already at work on part 2 (or PDF 2.0, if you will), with our next meeting taking place in Beijing in October. I look forward to seeing the first (of potentially many) submissions from others on what they’ve always wanted to see in PDF but have not had the chance to suggest before. But now it really is "Everyone’s PDF".
