July 2025 by Duff Johnson

Insight. PDF Days is a great place to learn about new approaches, ask vendors hard questions, and benefit from centuries of collective wisdom.

Networking. PDF Days is a great way to make connections with peers, vendors, customers, regulators, and more.

Inspiration. I’ve been told that attendees value PDF Days for the information they did NOT come to learn, but that nonetheless offered real value.

Learning. PDF Days, together with the PDF Workshop immediately prior, is an ideal opportunity to help new developers, consultants, product managers and marketers deepen their knowledge of PDF’s capabilities and the competitive landscape.

Foresight. PDF Days is an opportunity to hear first-hand about coming advances in PDF technology and discover what’s next for PDF!
