Berlin, Germany (PRWEB) August 22, 2011
The International Standards Organization published PDF/A-2 in June 2011. It provides extended functions for long-term archiving of PDF documents. The previous part of the standard, PDF/A-1 is based on PDF version 1.4, while PDF/A-2 is based on version 1.7, now standardized as ISO 32000. New functionality includes high performance JPEG2000 compression, support for transparency effects and levels, embedding of OpenType fonts and applying digital signatures in accordance with PDF Advanced Electronic Signatures (PADeS) specifications. PDF/A files can also be embedded in PDF/A-2, allowing groups of documents to be archived as individual, but associated, documents.
The webinar series begins on September 1, 2011 with PDF/A Update Advantages of PDF/A-2. From 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm CEST, PDF/A Competence Center member LuraTech Europe GmbH will provide a brief overview of the ISO standard PDF/A for long-term archiving and describe the new functions offered by PDF/A-2. The emphasis will be on functions for scanned documents. Those interested can visit https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/952323739 to register free of charge for this webinar.
