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.
From ISO - News - PDF format becomes ISO standard
Three days ago Adobe PDF became an official ISO standard. Now what does that mean in practice? Hopefully more competition on the PDF reader frontier, because recent community reports on Adobe Reader 9 are not so positive, to put it mildly.
Here are some Adobe Reader 9 experiences worth reading:
For starters, version 8 was a 22 MB download. Version 9 is a mere 33 MB — a whole major version up, and not even twice as big. The default download includes a 19 MB eBay Desktop program, for all your “faster searching, smarter bidding” needs. So tempting … but I opted out.
