PDF in Manufacturing (promotional opportunity)

Targeted for publication before the end of April, 2020, "PDF in Manufacturing" will will cover the actual and potential application of PDF and 3D PDF technology specific to the manufacturing sector.

The PDF and printed book will be a substantive and highly informative publication of 40+ pages, including a low volume of advertising.

The brochure's content will focus on manufacturing applications benefiting from 3D in the PDF context as well as other PDF features especially relevant to manufacturing such as embedded files, metadata, PDF/A (archival), annotations, semantic structures and more.

In addition to posting and promotion on pdfa.org and 3dpdfconsortium.org, the brochure will be printed for free distribution to attendees at all PDFa events in 2020 and 2021.

Editorial content development will be led by PDF Association Executive Director Duff Johnson and 3D PDF Consortium Executive Director Phil Spreier, who will solicit both educational editorial content and short case study contributions from members of their respective organizations.
