[pdftex] PDF to become an ISO standard

[Martin Schröder]

"Adobe will release the full PDF 1.7 specification as defined in the
PDF Reference Manual available at
www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html to AIIM for the purpose of
submission to ISO. The joint committee formed under AIIM will identify
issues to be addressed, as well as proposed solutions, and will
develop a draft document that will then be presented to a Joint
Working Group of ISO for development and approval as an International
Standard. AIIM holds the secretariat for the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee (TC) 171
and 171 SC2 for Document Management Applications, and is the
administrator for the U.S. Technical Advisory Group to ISO TC 171 that
represents the U.S. at international meetings."
