Adobe Systems Inc. on Jan. 29 announced that it has released the full PDF (Portable Document Format) 1.7 specification to AIIM, the Association for Information and Image Management. AIIM, in turn, will start working on making PDF an ISO standard.

According to Sarah Rosenbaum, Adobe's director of product management, this is the next logical step for Adobe with its PDF formats. In the 14 years since Adobe published the complete PDF specification in 1993, PDF has become a de facto global standard for secure and dependable information exchange and archival storage.

So Office 2007 (& earlier) now won't include integrated support for 2 ISO formats (Well, in the future anyway perhaps). Wonder how that will bode for OpenOffice.org (Which of course can save in both PDF & ODF by default) |
