PDF to become ISO standard

Cadalyst reports that Adobe intends to release the full PDF (portable document format) v1.7 specification to AIIM, the Enterprise Content Management Association, for the purpose of publication by the ISO (International Organization for Standardization). It is, says Adobe’s Kevin Lynch, “the next logical step in the evolution of PDF from de facto standard to a formal, de jure standard.” View the original Adobe release here, and reaction from CAD blogger Deelip Menezes (the associated comments regarding DWF are also interesting).
