Whitepapers
We offer you in-depth information in our whitepapers:
The PDF/A formats specified in the ISO 19005 standard strive to provide a consistent and robust subset of PDF which can safely be archived over a long period of time, or used for reliable data exchange in enterprise and government environments. The whitepaper discusses PDFlib features for creating PDF/A output suitable for long-term document archival.
As a growing number of industry groups and corporations rely on metadata for organizing their growing data pools, XMP metadata gain importance for PDF documents. Furthermore several existing and planned ISO standards include the use of XMP metadata, such as PDF/A-1 for archiving, PDF/E for engineering, PDF/X for the graphic arts industry, and ISO 32000 that will standardize PDF 1.7. The whitepaper discusses XMP, XMP support in PDFlib products and possible XMP workflows.
