Comments for Inside PDF http://blogs.adobe.com/insidepdf This blog will discuss all aspects of PDF technology. As Adobe PDF Architect, past ISO Project Leader for the ISO 32000 PDF standard and a Senior Principal Scientist, I will cover the ISO Standards for PDF, present tutorial views on PDF, and similar stuff. There are a lot of interesting things happening around PDF and a lot of misinformation is being generated. I plan to kill off as much of that misinformation as possible. The postings on this site are my own and don’t necessarily represent Adobe’s positions, views, strategies or opinions. -- Jim King Sat, 30 Jul 2011 15:03:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Comment on XML Documents by Rehan Oberoi http://blogs.adobe.com/insidepdf/2007/09/xml_documents.html#comment-12377 Rehan Oberoi Sat, 30 Jul 2011 15:03:03 +0000 http://blogs.adobe.com/insidepdf/2007/09/xml_documents.html#comment-12377 This article gave me a very deep insight into the important concepts of XML.

I had the bright idea to convert them into digital files for archiving to free up space in my condo. My friend, who owns a printing service said she could do it for me and that it would be saved as pdf files. I thought I'd do some research before having her do the work and came across your post. Thank you for writing this. It confirms that I'm making the right decision and that pdf is the right format for me. I have boxes of files that take up huge amounts of space in my tiny condo.

]]> Comment on ISO Ballot for PDF 1.7 Passed! by Ralph H http://blogs.adobe.com/insidepdf/2007/12/iso_ballot_for_pdf_17_passed.html#comment-63 Ralph H Thu, 28 Jan 2010 09:00:24 +0000 http://blogs.adobe.com/insidepdf/2007/12/iso_ballot_for_pdf_17_passed.html#comment-63 Great to hear that PDF 1.7 is an open standard. Two questions.1) Where can I download the specs? (IEEE standards for the 802.X stack are freely available)[http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=51502or<a href="http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf]" rel="nofollow">http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf]</a>2) Where can I get more details on why my Linux .PDF viewer doesn't show any part of the document I downloaded?[Probably an encrypted file. Who supplied the Linux viewer? ]I suspect the Adobe extensions to PDF 1.7 are the issue, but can't be sure. The wikipedia page on the PDF file format only mentions XFA as an extension to 1.7, but XFA was introduced in 1.5(I tend not to install Adobe software on Linux as the installers require that they be run as root, something that doesn't make sense for user application software, especially a document viewing application which doesn't need root priviledges) Great to hear that PDF 1.7 is an open standard.

This brought to mind my own "a-ha" moment regarding the durability of PDF (from way back in 1994) -- which serves as an example of one instance in which the Acrobat products were, indeed, "forward compatible" with later enhancements to PDF.If you're interested, I posted the tale on my blog: <a href="http://blogs.wharton.upenn.edu/staff/kendallwhitehouse/2009/08/pdf-evolution-and-compatibility.html" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://blogs.wharton.upenn.edu/staff/kendallwhitehouse/2009/08/pdf-evolution-and-compatibility.html" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.wharton.upenn.edu/staff/kendallwhitehouse/2009/08/pdf-evolution-and-compatibility.html</a></a>:Kendall Jim:Very interesting post.

Acrobat interfaces to the standard OS drivers and if you pad has a standard driver it should work.However, note that the pad is for capturing a signature image. Digital signatures are not really about signature images but about computer identity and change detection.
