New (and updated) PDF Cheat Sheets

October 2024 by PDF Association staff

Today we are launching the second edition, growing to 18 pages across 9 cheat sheets.

Changes include corrections to the original four cheat sheets, some minor improvements and five new cheat sheets focusing on logical structure, tagged PDF, and the Arlington PDF Model.

We’ve improved the tagging to support those using assistive technologies. Version 2 of all cheat sheets now includes detailed logical structure and tagging.

We are adding the option of a PDF collection containing all the version 2 cheat sheets as embedded files.

The PDF Association thanks its members across several Technical Working Groups who provided valuable input and feedback.

Download the 2nd edition of the PDF Association’s Cheat Sheets today!
