While Adobe Systems continues to produce Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat, the PDF file-format itself is no longer the property of Adobe Systems. Since the publication of ISO 32000 in July, 2008, PDF is managed by volunteer committees of the International Standards Organization (ISO) and AIIM.
With Adobe Systems and Microsoft, Appligent Document Solutions leads the industry in PDF Standards participation; no other North American company comes close in its commitment to PDF Standards development.
Why do we bother, when most others do not?
Appligent Document Solutions is dedicated to delivering the most reliable, highest-performance and effective, leading edge electronic document technology to our customers.
Direct participation in the meetings and discussions that shape the future of the PDF format gives us early insight into ways in which we can refine our software to benefit our customers.
Appligent Document Solutions customers expect the greatest reliability and highest performance from our software. Our active role in PDF Standards development is just one of the ways in which we maintain our technological edge.
See the AIIM PDF Standards wiki for committee schedules.
