Aligning PDF 1.7 and 2.0 through ISO 32005 and using these for Reflow, Reuse and Accessibility

A journey through modern tagging and the potential for future documents

Excerpt: ISO 32005 is a new Technical Standard from WG9 (for which I am the ISO Project Leader) aimed at aligning and unifying the capabilities of the PDF 1.7 and PDF 2.0 tagset.  This talk will introduce this concept and how it has been incorporated into 14289-2 along with the PDF Association driven Well-Tagged PDF (WTPDF) specification.  How this new standard helps enable modern accessibility, along with features like derivation and content extraction, will be described and detailed.
