PDF Is Now ISO 32000
It is official. As PDF Architect Jim King blogged today, Adobe has received word that the ballot for approval of PDF 1.7 to become the ISO 32000 Standard (DIS) has passed by a vote of 13 positive to 1 negative. A two-thirds majority is required to pass so it was a large margin of victory (93%). The vote breaks down as follows: Countries voting positive with no comments (9): Australia, Bulgaria, China, Japan, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine. Countries voting positive with comments (4): UK (13 comments), USA (125), Germany (11), Switzerland (19). Countries voting negative with comments (1): France (37 comments). Countries abstaining (1): Russia.
So where can I download an ISO of PDF tools?
We should rename the application "Freedom Bat Reader", to protest their no vote.
Rhymes that keep their secrets will unfold behind the clouds.There upon the rainbow is the answer to a neverending story
I dunno much, but ISO 32000 ought to be able to record photos in the very darkest of dark places.
It's too bad they'll be saved as PDFs, I prefer to shoot RAW.
If you don't know what AltaVista is (was), get off my lawn.
They probably complained that the 'F' was at the end of the acronym instead of at the front.
Russia:
"After long internal deliberation, we have arrived at an official position. We don't give a shit."
"-1 Troll" is the apparently the same as "-1 I disagree with you."
NOOOOO!!! please not another upgrade. It nags me three weeks before an upgrade. NO, I DONT WANT TO FUCKING UPGRADE!!! And three weeks after an upgrade. I ALREADY FUCKING UPGRADED IT!!! Then it resets all my file extension defaults and starts opening everything in Acrobat Reader 8 even though I've told it a million times to open with Acrobat Pro 5. Fucking piece of shit must die.
Note to Acrobat developers, if anyone asks what you do, lie. It could be me. I will fucking kill you and then skull fuck you. I will kill your fucking family and skull fuck them. I will kill your fucking pets and skull fuck them. I will burn your fucking house down and find a way to skull fuck that too. And no jury will convict, they'll wish they had gotten to you first.
Sorry. The first hundred pages of my shit list are devoted solely to Acrobat. Deep breaths, deep breaths
Hello, nice site :)

I think Brin left a really nice comment. How he/she made it from MySpace to an article about ISO 32000 Standards is a bit confusing.
The Russians are waiting for PDF to vote for THEM...
If a buffer were the only thing standing between Real and certain doom, Real would never die.
I'm still confused how they manage to make a viewer/reader that lags every single generation, on any hardware. What are they testing it on? Supercomputers?
I have no illusions however, they hate my fucking US guts
What the hell is wrong with you people? (Disclaimer : I'm French and I live in France). Why do Americans seem to love so much the idea that the rest of the world (and particularly the French and Arabs) hates them viscerally? The video you linked to was made by a bunch of liberal hippies who, just like all liberal hippies from San Francisco to Prague, like to bash George Bush, the military industrial complex and large corporations.
That doesn't mean we hate you, none of us hates you or America in here, you stupid fat pig!
Oh crap, did I say it out loud? I was supposed to "keep it under covers", like the sneaky Frenchman that I am..
You just got troll'd!
