| Kantor | hi | 12:13.08 |
| mubot | Welcome to #mupdf, the channel for MuPDF. If you have a question, please ask it, don't ask to ask it. Do be prepared to wait for a reply as devs will check the logs and reply when they come on line. | 12:13.08 |
| Kantor | could somebody send me a link to the latest pdf specifications? | 12:13.44 |
| sebras | Kantor: PDF 2.0 is not publicly available unfortunately. | 12:15.10 |
| Kantor | sebras: than the last most recent which is available . . . | 12:15.40 |
| | I found the 1.6 which dates from 2004 | 12:17.40 |
| sebras | Kantor: pdf reference 1.7 is available from adobe | 12:19.15 |
| Kantor | ok, thanks | 12:19.34 |
| | I will search for it | 12:19.40 |
| | I found nice standard references for pdf on wikipedia pdf entry | 12:22.56 |
| | sebras: pdf 1.8 and 1.9 is skipped by adobe? | 12:24.28 |
| kens | Adobe turned over the specification to the ISO at version 1.7 | 12:25.35 |
| | They then released a number of Adobe-specific updates. The ISO took the decision to change the version number to 2.0 | 12:26.01 |
| Kantor | ok thanks | 12:26.53 |
| sebras | Kantor: and since 2.0 ISO charges for the specification. | 12:30.34 |
| Kantor | what's bad is the ISO docs are for charge, right? while from adobe you can download 1.7 and older specs for free | 12:30.46 |
| | yes I know | 12:30.56 |
| | the same thing with the C programming language specs | 12:31.24 |
| | The very first ANSI C book is free on the Internet but newer C specifications are released by ISO | 12:32.31 |
| | which is for money | 12:32.38 |
| | could somebody tell me what is the difference between the adobe pdf 1.7 specification doc and this 1.7 document management book | 12:37.24 |
| | https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf | 12:37.24 |
| | this is part of the 1.7 specification or is something else? | 12:38.15 |
| kens | Essentially, none. That's the version 1.7 specification as adopted by the ISO | 12:38.20 |
| sebras | Kantor: none. | 12:38.29 |
| kens | And with their boilerplate crap inserted | 12:38.31 |
| sebras | kens: you beat me to it. :) | 12:38.43 |
| Kantor | ok thank you, I will stick to the original pdf 1.7 specs. than | 12:39.36 |
| kens | The 1.7 spec is better, it still has an index | 12:39.46 |
| sebras | and poorer readability. I suggest using Adobe's 1.7 version unless specific 2.0 things are interesting. | 12:39.48 |
| kens | I agree completely with sebras, I always use the Adobe 1.7 specification unless I need something 2.0 specific, which is rare | 12:40.40 |
| | The ISO documentation is much harder to read, and to find the information you want | 12:41.07 |
| Kantor | I'm interested only in generic pdf things | 12:41.44 |
