an initiative of the Association for Digital Document Standards (ADDS) e.V., founded in September 2006.
The association is geared towards developers of PDF solutions; companies that work with PDF in document management systems (DMS) and electronic content management (ECM), interested individuals, and users who want to implement PDF technology in their organizations. The PDF Association now includes members from over 20 countries world-wide.
Beginning in 2006 with the PDF/A Competence Center, the PDF Association exists to provide software vendors with information and resources on the various International Standards for PDF to help them make the most of their investment in PDF technology.
As adopted by the Board in January, 2011, the Mission of the PDF Association is this:

Accordingly, we are happy to report that adoption of PDF 2.0 continues apace, with new vendors announcing their support every month.
The PDF Techniques Accessibility Summit will identify best-practices in tagging various cases in PDF documents. Questions to be addressed will likely include: the legal ways to tag a nested list, the correct way to caption multiple images, the appropriate way to organize content within headings.
In December, 2018 the ISO committees for PDF, PDF/A and PDF/UA will gather in Edinburgh, Scotland for four days of meetings to advance each of these standards. The following committees will meet: ISO 32000 / PDF (WG 8) Work: Continued review of errata …
A two-day, in-person event hosted by the PDF Association, this summit brings PDF accessibility experts together to create and agree on examples of tagged PDF in order to create a common understanding of what “semantically appropriate tags in a logical reading order” really means.
