First revision of PDF 2.0
(ISO 32000-2-:2020) released
ISO has published the first revision of PDF 2.0 (ISO 32000-2:2020). This is a so-called “dated revision” with quite a few clarifications but no new features compared to the original version (ISO 32000-2:2017). Further information is available from the PDF Association, which was instrumental in drafting this revision.
ISO32000-2:2020 is the basis for the new standards PDF/X-6 (ISO 15930-9:2020) and PDF/VT-3 (ISO 16623-3:2020).

variable data and transactional printing
The third version of the ISO standard for variable data and transactional printing PDF/VT-3 (ISO 16612-3:2020) has been published.
PDF/VT-3 is based on the recently published PDF/X-6 and uses, among other things, the DPart metadata for structuring PDF pages, which has been newly included in PDF 2.0 (32000-2).
