PDF/A-2 Standard on Way

LuraTech recently sent us this link explaining some of the new features in the upcoming PDF/A-2 standard. PDF/A is the electronic document archiving standard that was approved by ISO in 2005, but to date as seen limited adoption in North America. The PDF/A Competence Center, of which LuraTech is a member, is hoping to change that.

The technical work on PDF/A-2 is apparently finished with the standard set to be published in early 2011. PDF/A-2 can be used on more complex documents including those with JPEG 2000 compression, open font types, and those including document collections. Overall, it should make PDF/A a more versatile standard and help drive more adoption.

I am also using PDF a-2. It is used for archiving the documents for long term. It supports text, images, vector graphics, fonts and colors. Audio, video, javascript files and executable files are forbidden.

Hi Friends,

PDF/A is a file format for the long term archiving of electronic documents. It is similar to the PDF/X subset for the printing and graphic arts. Thanks a lot...
