Annotation

Under Annotation I expect some information on PDF-Annotations, not about software that can edit or import PDFs to annotate. Are PDF-annotations vector or pixel or both? How are highlights stored or why does highlighing not work with scanned documents but with scanned documents plus OCR? Do I need PDF/1.7 or does PDF/1.3 support all of this?--78.48.37.163 (talk) 17:30, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

--> look at XFDF

Conversion problem

I never understood why a text PDF cannot be simply saved from PDF reader as RTF file that can be edited by virtually any word processor. OK, 3rd party apps can do this, but the result is not exactly the same as the original. Mazarin07 (talk) 23:23, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Full function PDF

Hi.

"Full function PDF" looks non-English. Is it actually used in any source or is it an invention of an editor?

Best regards,

  • On the page VII of ISO 32000 (freely published by Adobe) is the following sentence: "ISO 32000 is an ISO standard for the full function PDF; the following standards are for more specialized uses. PDF/X (ISO 15930) is now the industry standard ..."[1] Leonard Rosenthol from Adobe also calls ISO 32000 as an "ISO PDF umbrella" - for PDF/A, PDF/X, PDF/E, PDF/UA (subsets of the full PDF specification).[2] --89.173.219.155 (talk) 07:51, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

256-bit AES and Mac Preview

Would it be worth mentioning that PDF encrypted with 256-bit AES (e.g., by Pro Xi) cannot be opened by Mac Preview? JDAWiseman (talk) 18:39, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi. If the opposite was true, it would have been worth mentioning. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 04:54, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

PCL?

According to HP's help forums, it seems that the HP printer languages PCLm and PCLmS are PDF1.7 with embedded fonts? If this is so should it appear in this article? -- 76.65.128.112 (talk) 12:18, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

It seems that ISO 32000-2 had been cancelled

See http://www.iso.org/iso/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=53041. Trilemma2 (talk) 20:15, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

This is a rather old comment, but afaict the standard has not been canceled, in fact it's in draft as of 16 July 2016; see: ISO 32000-2.2. Mcswell (talk) 17:08, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Too technical.

Frankly, we don't need terms like "lossy" and "lossless" in this article. That's for a tech manual, not an encyclopedia. There are other such brain-busters as well. Yours in Wikidom, your friend, BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 12:36, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

A different person then writes:
actually this is valuable information. lossless data encoding or data compression means that the replication is as the original. This reminds me of truetype fonts which are vector descriptions of letters. I can imagine a person making a PDF where thay want to only use lossless compression

Heading "Standardized subsets of PDF" is wrong?

Surely this heading is wrong? I mean, PDF/A is not a subset of PDF; and neither is PDF/E. Are we stuck with the word "subset" for some historical reason, or could it be changed to something more meaningful such as "application"? MarcMFresko (talk) 14:27, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Nope. PDF/A and PDF/E are, in fact, strict subsets of PDF. That is, they restrict the use of PDF features and do not add any features that PDF itself does not contain. Duff Johnson (talk) 22:53, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

What is the future of PDF?

PDF has been around since the late-1990's. Is obsolescence in the future? While it remains a mainstream data format, will PDF still be readable 100 years from now? --2600:6C48:7006:200:D84D:5A80:173:901D (talk) 00:12, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Take a look at this "Five visions of a PDF future". and "PDF Association".. PDF Association purpose is keeping PDF relevant. There are "3D PDF"., U3D as well as many available conversions anything to PDF. This article needs improving in my opinion as some sections to bring out more ISO standardization, possibly future as you mentioned and organize sections better.

Disabling Javascript security benefits outweigh the incompatibilities is not supported by the cited source

See Title

It only says that the author recommends disabling it and _they_ just want to view a pdf and _they_ don't need javascript. I can't see how the sentences there[1] imply the benefits outweigh the incompatibilities.
