href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/PDF\" target=\"_blank\">PDF (Portable Document Format)\u00a0standard<\/a> was first released in 1993 and has become one of the most widely used file formats for exchanging electronic documents.\u00a0 Today Adobe <a title=\"PDF file format\" href=\"http:\/\/www.adobe.com\/aboutadobe\/pressroom\/pressreleases\/200701\/012907OpenPDFAIIM.html\" target=\"_blank\">announced<\/a> that PDF version 1.7 is being turned over to <a title=\"AIIM\" href=\"http:\/\/www.aiim.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">AIIM<\/a>, the Enterprise Content Management Association, for eventual publication by ISO (the International Organization for Standardization).<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>\u00a0 Reasons for the success of the PDF file format include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Precise Rendering<\/li>\n<li>Compact Storage<\/li>\n<li>Cross-Platform Compatibility<\/li>\n<li>Security<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>PDF has been an Open format.\u00a0 When first released, Adobe granted a royalty-free license for building PDF-capable applications.\u00a0 But while the\u00a0PDF file format has been open and <a title=\"PDF reference documentation\" href=\"http:\/\/www.adobe.com\/devnet\/pdf\/pdf_reference.html\" target=\"_blank\">published<\/a>, it has also been totally under the control of Adobe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>AIIM has already been administering some specialized versions of the PDF file format,\u00a0such as PDF\/A (PDF for Archive), PDF\/E (PDF for Engineering) and PDF\/UA (PDF for Universal Access).\u00a0 And of these, PDF\/A is alsready an ISO standard.<\/p>\n<p>The move by Adobe follows a <a title=\"Adobe to sue Microsoft\" href=\"http:\/\/www.betanews.com\/article\/Adobe_to_Sue_Microsoft_for_PDF_Feature\/1149263800\" target=\"_blank\">threat<\/a> by Adobe last summer\u00a0to sue\u00a0Microsoft for including a &#8216;save as PDF&#8217; option as part of Office 2007.\u00a0 Microsoft eventually dropped the feature.\u00a0 The move should also be looked favorably on by some governments that have been reluctant to adopt PDF as a standard because of its proprietary nature.<\/p>\n<div
