Open at Adobe

It's a nice simple lazy day. And I'm too darn comfortable to do  any actual heavy lifting.

So, I thought I'd point out a new blog from one of my Adobe colleagues, Jim King.

Jim is the PDF Architect for Adobe. He's also the principal technology lead for the effort to promote PDF as an ISO standard. He is articulate, has well thought out reasons and proposals, and is a nice guy. Well, given that he admits to coding a PDF document by hand, he's a nice guy <grin>.

Jim has started a blog to help keep you informed on the open efforts for ISO PDF. Note that I say "open" here. At Adobe, we recognize that buying your way into a standard is never a good thing, We'd rather have the best standard for the community needs, and Jim and his team have spent a lot of time working on what we submitted to ISO for consideration. We're already been told by experts outside of Adobe that this is the best PDF specification that has ever been produced.

Anyway, I want you to rush over and check out Jim's blog, Inside PDF right now. Now, or I'll shed on you.

And I'm going back to snoozing.
