PDF Reference

ISO 32000-1:2008 (current)

On January 29, 2007, Adobe announced its intent to release the full Portable Document Format (PDF) 1.7 specification to AIIM, the Enterprise Content Management Association, for the purpose of publication by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

In July, 2008, Adobe's PDF Reference 1.7 became ISO 32000, and control of the PDF Reference passed to the international community. See the U.S. Committee's statement on the relationship between the two documents. ISO 32000-1:2008 is now the current and correct specification for PDF files.  If you are interested in building applications or toolkits to create, manage or manipulate PDF files, you'll want to buy your copy of ISO 32000-1:2008 from the International Standards Organization catalog today.

This wiki is the workspace for the International Committee for ISO 32000, including agendas, meetings and interim work-products. Certain pages are dedicated (and restricted to) to the functions of the U.S. Committee for ISO 32000.
