January 5, 2024 – Berlin, Germany. In accordance with its ongoing commitment to ISO standards for PDF technology, Adobe, a Partner member of the PDF Association, has renewed its Standards Support Endowment for 2024, a payment to PDF Association, Inc., the ANSI-appointed standards manager for ISO TC 171 SC 2 and the US sister organization of the PDF Association, e.V.

"Now in its sixth year, we are proud that Adobe's Standards Support Endowment continues to facilitate the PDF Association's ongoing vital work sustaining and developing PDF and related specifications and standards," said Leonard Rosenthol, Adobe’s Senior Principal Architect for PDF and a member of the PDF Association's Board of Directors.
PDF Association CEO Duff Johnson said; "Together with the PDF Association's membership dues from companies around the world, Adobe's endowment helps makes it possible for the PDF Association to provide a vendor-neutral platform for PDF's stakeholders to engage in specifications and standards development for this globally vital technology."
As in 2023, the value of Adobe's Standards Support Endowment in 2024 is $178,800. The endowment is not exclusive; other organizations may also endow PDF Association activities, which are overseen by the PDF Association's Board of Directors.
