We’re Pumped for PDF Days 2017, Will We See You There?
After last year’s record number of attendees, PDF Days is again being held in Berlin. We couldn’t be more excited and will be attending both the two-day event as well as the post conference events.
If you’re not familiar with PDF days, here’s what you need to know:
What is PDF Days 2017?
PDF Days 2017 is a two-day event held in Berlin which focuses on showing how PDF technology can help solve business-related problems. The event includes German- and English-language presentations, user reports and workshops. One subject in the limelight will be the new ISO 32000-2 standard (PDF 2.0) and the improvements it brings in terms of encryption, digital signatures and much more. Visitors will also receive up-to-date information about the PDF Association’s new initiative for optimizing use of the PDF format on mobile devices – something that will decisively impact the future of PDF.
The presentations will also introduce other new PDF-related subjects, including PDF/Raster, a consciously simplified subset of PDF which enables the use of the PDF format within high-volume scanning solutions. Other standards discussed at the event will include PDF/A for long-term document archiving, ZUG+FeRD for PDF/A-based invoices, and PDF/UA for universally accessible documents.
The event also features a post-conference workshop day for users, featuring specialist events from Association members. Participants can again expect a comprehensive range of information on this day.
