Title: ISO 32000-2 (PDF 2.0) publicly available at no cost
Post by: StarGeek on April 06, 2023, 04:01:54 PM
QuoteThanks to a unique collaboration between the PDF Association and leading PDF companies Adobe, Apryse and Foxit, the latest ISO standard for PDF technology — ISO 32000-2, the PDF 2.0 specification — is now publicly available at no cost.

I haven't tried myself but from what I understand, you still have to go through the checkout at $0.

Thanks for letting me know.

If you go to the ISO they still want you to pay CHF208 (about $230 USD) for it (https://www.iso.org/standard/75839.html).

But you can get it for free from here:

You do need to give them your name, address and email in the checkout, but it is indeed free!

I had faintly recalled that you had an interest in an ISO regarding PDFs, but of course searching for ISO here returns a lot of hits.  Too many to try and figure out if this was the correct ISO or not.

Good memory.  Yes.  I found it here:  https://github.com/exiftool/exiftool/issues/30

Now I just need to find time to read through the specification to see what has changed.

Thanks again.
