PDF 2030

A fork in the road.

Session description

The most exciting, capable, feature packed file format today is…PDF!

But, for better or worse, PDF is hindered by its own longevity and the preconceptions and misconceptions surrounding what it can do. Consumers and vendors alike are hampered by PDF ‘old think’ that can stymie experimentation and adoption.

This presentation will suggest a path for future versions of PDF and the subset standards that builds of the best attributes of the PDF family while suggesting a rethinking of some legacy ideas.
