No-cost access to the latest PDF standard: ISO 32000-2 (PDF 2.0)
&gt; ISO 32000-2 was also, however, the first and only core PDF specification published exclusively — and only for purchase — by ISO, inhibiting its use and adoption over the last five years.<p>Who would have thought that &quot;international standards&quot; that require payment don&#x27;t work well? How many people are willing to spend a couple hundred CHFs to access the PDF specs? Also it seems insane to me that the PDF creator, Adobe, now has to pay ANSI to distribute their own spec for free.<p>For some reason you still need to &quot;add to cart&quot; the standards and they will ask you for your address and email. You don&#x27;t need to provide real information for anything, not even email, they just redirect you to a page with download links.<p>Also the EULA is insane.<p>&gt; You may install one copy of the Product on, and permit access to it by, a single computer owned, leased or otherwise controlled by you. In the event that computer becomes dysfunctional, such that you are unable to access the Product, you may transfer the Product to another computer, provided that the Product is removed from the computer from which it is transferred and the use of the Product on the replacement computer otherwise complies with the terms of this Agreement. Neither concurrent use on two or more computers nor use in a local area network or other network is permitted. You may print one copy of the Product for your personal use. You shall not merge, adapt, translate, modify, rent, lease, sell, sublicense, assign or otherwise transfer any of the Product, or remove any proprietary notice or label appearing on any of the Product. You may make one (1) copy the Product for backup purposes only.<p>They don&#x27;t even allow you to use it on your 2 devices at the same time. Complete nonsense that I&#x27;m sure everyone will follow.
