What can one do with the PDF format, and where is it going? For two decades, PDF has been the global standard for document viewing and cooperation. But despite this, many of the format’s features remain largely unknown even to many IT professionals. PDF is continuously evolving, and its current advantages and flexibility may surprise you.
PDF is a file format that excels in the face of all major challenges presented by the ongoing explosion of big data technology. While it is largely known for its strengths in terms of viewing, sharing, archiving, and signing, the format also shines in terms of programmability. PDF displays tremendous potential in terms of automating transactions and improving flows of collaboration because it is far more than the digital copy of a paper document. Metadata, structure, forms, and other file type attachments packaged together, turn it into an extremely versatile envelope for your content.
The strengths of the PDF format make it difficult to imagine a well-designed document solution that does not integrate PDF files in a central way. The format has a great deal to offer because it responds by design to most of the challenges encountered in building a digital document workflow, whether they are related to data processing, long-term archiving, digital signatures and security, or cross-platform sharing.
