Adobe Turns PDF Over to Standards Body

Adobe Systems on Monday plans to turn their PDF Format specification to the AIIM to eventually get an ISO recognition. Adobe does this to ensure their corporate customers that PDF documents will remain accessible in the future.

"We're handing it over to a group that will eventually drive it to become a recognized ISO standard," said Sarah Rosenbaum, director of product management at Adobe. "We're doing it because we feel it's the next logical extension of where PDF has been in the past and where it needs to go in the future."
