Writing in Government Computing News, PDF Executive Director Duff Johnson highlights NARA's recently-published draft strategic plan and its stated objective of eliminating paper as a medium for records by the end of 2022. He points out that PDF is not just the only obvious choice for a document records-keeping medium, but it's almost inevitable.
