PDF 2.0 Errata Collection 3 now available
For the last 3 years the PDF Association, sponsored by Adobe, Apryse, and Foxit, has made the ISO standard that defines PDF – ISO 32000-2 – available at no cost.
The current ISO 32000-2 bundle includes PDF’s core specification and four ISO Technical Specification extensions to PDF, enabling modern cryptography and digital signature technologies in PDF 2.0. With tens of thousands of downloads since 2023, the PDF Association and its sponsors have successfully placed the latest and most up-to-date PDF specification into the hands of developers worldwide, helping improve interoperability and reduce malformed PDF files.
This edition of PDF 2.0 includes Errata Collection 3 (EC3) and is a complete replacement for the previous no-cost Errata Collection 2 (EC2) sponsored edition of ISO 32000-2:2020.
