Hi all, News of the day for file-format/standards-oriented folks: PDF (current version 1.7) is now officially an ISO standard. More details are offered in today's press release from the ISO:
<http://www.iso.org/iso/pressrelease.htm?refid=Ref1141>, including: > The Portable Document Format (PDF), undeniably one of the most commonly used > formats for electronic documents, is now accessible as an ISO International > Standard - ISO 32000-1. This move follows a decision by Adobe Systems > Incorporated, original developer and copyright owner of the format, to > relinquish control to ISO, who is now in charge of publishing the > specifications for the current version (1.7) and for updating and developing > future versions. cheers, Rob ______________________________________________ Rob Lancefield (rlancefield [at] wesleyan.edu) Manager of Museum Information Services / Registrar of Collections Davison Art Center, Wesleyan University 301 High Street, Middletown CT 06459-0487 USA 860.685.2965 Vice President / President-Elect, Museum Computer Network (MCN)
