Some people like to talk. Appligent CEO Duff Johnson has been sharing his tips, tricks, complaints, philosophies and rants about PDF technology and the correct implementation thereof for over a decade.
The Taking PDF blog collects Duff's articles, blog-posts and presentations about PDF technology and PDF Standards.
Most of these articles and blog-posts were originally published on Nitro PDF's Planet PDF site or Adobe's AcrobatUsers.com site.
No attempt has been made to gather Duff's voluminous PDFZone, and PlanetPDF forum posts going back to 1996 or so - and that is as it should be.
