Just a reminder, if you are in Philadelphia next week (March 31-April 2) stop by the PDF Reference meeting on Tuesday, March 31 and the PDF/Universal Access meeting on Wednesday, April 1. Both committees are meeting in the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Room 102A.

The PDF/Engineering committee is holding a conference call meeting on Thursday, April 2 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern.

International PDF Working Group meetings will be taking place April 20-24 in Hamburg, Germany.

Lots of opportunities for you to get involved in the PDF meetings. If you need more information, feel free to contact me.

In case you have not noticed the blog posting on "PDF/A Bill has been submitted", you should check it out. We are aware of this bill and a similar bill in California. If you know of any others, please let us know.

It's final! The PDF specification that billions of documents are based upon is now an ISO standard. 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. While this is an ISO standard, AIIM had a key role in the process of bringing the once Adobe controlled specification to ISO. AIIM, on behalf of ANSI, holds the secretariat for the ISO committee that is responsible for the development of ISO 32000-1. This version of the standard is an exact replica of the existing PDF 1.7.

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. For more information on this standard, please feel free to contact Betsy Fanning at bfanning@aiim.org.

ISO 32000-1 has in fact been passed by vote of the ISO member countries. We are now waiting for the document to be published by ISO which should be in the next several weeks. ISO 19005-1 (PDF/A) is a subset of PDF that was developed specifically for long-term preservation of digital documents. ISO 19005-1 remains a valid document and is currently under revision to add some additional features to the file format.

W've got ISO-19001 but the new standard is 32000; does anybody know the status of this ? and what is the difference exactly to 19001?
Adobe has received word that the Ballot for approval of PDF 1.7 to become the ISO 32000 Standard (DIS) has passed by a vote of 13::1.
