Hi,

Standards and implementations have no bearing one to the other.

A standard is just a document approved by a standard commitee. They are proposed by some parties for approval. The fact that they are approved only means that as a "document" the proposed standard passes the barriers of admition of the related commitee.

It has no bearing whatsoever with the usefulness in practice or the applicability of the standard.

Just to point an example, the Microsoft document standard, was approved, and is so much a "mess" that i'm not even sure if their productivity package complies with it.

So yes, standards are good, but... to a point. It depends on who promoted them, how, and what is their use in practice.

Cheers,
Kindaian

p.s.- promote a standard just because it was aproved as such has no pratical value by itself.

ok, but PDF 1.4 supports all of these, and FOP 1.0 does also; you will have to provide the necessary hyphenation support however, but layout should present no problem;

    of them). They are: Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English,
    Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Irish,
    Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese,
    Romanian, Slovak, Slovene, Spanish and Swedish.

        probably more pdf readers support 1.4 than 1.7; also, PDF 1.7
        does not have any particular features that 1.4 does not have
        that relate to multiple language support;

        which languages do you require support for?

            We need multi-language support. We want to create ISO
            32000 because it is standar and we think that it can be
            viewed in any browser. Is it correct?

                Hi Daniel,

                PDF support in FOP is currently limited to 1.4 - see FOP
                http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/output.html#pdf

                I am not sure if there are any community plans to
                support later
                version of the format in the near future.  Are there
                any specific
                features that have been introduced in the later
                versions that you
                require in particular?

                Peter
