Seeking expert advice on PDF standards like PDF/A, PDF/VT, PDF/UA and PDF/X? The PDF Association, an International PDF standards group, will be offering its expertise in current and future PDF standards at CeBIT 2012. Our experts will be on-hand to answer questions and provide standards-compliant solutions for all PDF formats.

With a particular focus on “Managing Trust”, CeBIT 2012 will be putting the spotlight on issues of protection and security in the digital world. PDF has an important role to play in this debate as it can influence the efficiency of linked processes and operational divisions in a variety of ways. In a world where security breaches are daily news, enterprises are coming to the conclusion that it is important to adhere to ISO standards, especially when dealing with popular file types such as PDF.

PDF/A in particular has established itself as a long-term archiving format; many businesses and public institutions are implementing PDF/A for strategic purposes in their core business and as a general requirement in IT projects. This inevitably results in numerous, complex questions about carrying out specific, individual PDF projects. The PDF Association’s experts can provide comprehensive support and complete explanations, including uses for the various PDF/A standards. For example, we can demonstrate fields of application for PDF/UA (Universal Accessibility) or explain how PDF/VT (V for Variable Data Printing, T for Transactional Printing) can optimize output management processes.
