Emerging consensus in favour of a unified document format standard?

08/16/2007  
Relevance: 6.04
It's too early to say for certain, but there are very encouraging signs that the world's standards bodies will vote in favour of a single unified ISO (' International Standards Organisation' ) document format standard. There is already one document format standard - ODF, and currently the ISO is considering a proposal to bless an alternative, Microsoft's OpenXML, as another standard. In the latest developments, standards committees in South Africa and the United States have both said they will vote against a second standard and thereby issue a strong call for unity and a sensible, open, common standard for business documents in word processing, spreadsheets and presentations.

PDF now an ISO standard

07/06/2008  
Relevance: 5.51
The Portable Document Format (PDF) is now an ISO International Standard: ISO 32000-1. The change in status follows a decision by Adobe Systems, original developer and copyright owner of the format, to relinquish control to ISO. The move means that the ISO is now in charge of publishing the specifications for the current version (1.7) and for updating and developing future versions. Despite impressions that PDF has beena proprietary format owned by Adobe, PDF has long been an open standard. The move to have PDF declared an ISO standard reinforces the open status of PDF.

The world does NOT need two standards to keep translating, we need one standard we can all use. Please, Microsoft, get that through your thick skulls! - dcparris]
