2018 PDF Day DC – the sessions
January 29 2018 was PDF Day in Washington, D.C.
Hosted by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) at its historic downtown Washington DC headquarters, this PDF Association event brought industry experts and agencies together to discuss the importance and utility of the Portable Document Format, its various ISO standards, and the wide-ranging technologies available to government workflows.
PDF is the world’s default electronic document technology. With 18 informative sessions across a wide range of topics, these sessions are especially relevant as we look into the future of records-keeping and electronic document technology in and around government.
