From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF: "there are still some technologies used in ISO 32000-1 and other PDF files that are defined only by Adobe and remain proprietary, such as Adobe XML Forms Architecture, and Adobe JavaScript." For a completely Free/Libre Open Source Software data format for publishing, I suggest making your acquaintance with OpenDocument. |

To a retired professional programmer, such as myself, who tried to answer this question for my Engineering Department customers, this is the key question for any data that is valuable to a community. The ARRL just celebrated its Centennial. Is any of the technical information available in any of the past issues of QST totally obsolete? Or do they, at least, provide an educational opportunity for new participants in the Amateur Service? We know how to conserve paper documents. Publishers of community knowledge need to judge data formats in light of the need of future generations. |
