PDF and the “Any Screen” Challenge

PDF Association developing industry-based model
for addressing the “any screen” challenge.

When it comes to print,
PDF is today the standard format used just about everywhere.
When it comes to the web,
HTML and CSS have obtained a similar position.
However, in our changing world,
print and web flow together in all kinds of interesting ways.

Having a format capable of catering to both worlds,
with the strengths of both worlds, would be very exciting!

The PDF Association has been working on exactly
such a technology project to develop extensions to PDF.

Technology that would marry
the reliability and robustness of PDF
with the fluidity and elegance of HTML;
providing the best possible user experience for
each type of device and use case.

"Next-Generation PDF" is the code-name for extensions to
PDF technology currently under development.
These PDF extensions marry PDF’s core capabilities
to the flexibility of web technologies.

The PDF Association unveils this radical development in PDF technology.
Read more on upcoming announcement at
The PDF Days Europe 2017.
