title: Surveying ISO Standards for PDF: archive, accessibility, engineering, metadata, 3D data and PDF itself. History, pain points, solutions and the dream.
creators: Duff Johnson
abstract: This workshop provides high-level information on the features, development and current status of ISO standards for PDF relevant to archiving. It then provides an opportunity for participants to clearly identify and prioritize related requirements and solutions. Presented by the ISO Project Leader of ISO 32000, an independent consultant, the workshop will begin by reviewing the features and history of the technology and its associated standards. Thereafter, a set of breakout sessions will challenge participants to clearly specify their ideas and concerns about PDF and suggest a variety of solutions leveraging commercial software interests. Finally, workshop participants will come together to discuss the breakout session results, identify common themes and build consensus on specific, actionable requests for PDF producer and processor developers in the short and medium term.
