  • It’s not just for developers: with over 200 participants from all around the world, PDF Days Europe brings developers together with ISO committee members, product managers and technically-minded end users.
  • Informative presentations and discussions impart specialist knowledge and the latest findings. May 14th and 15th include a track designed especially for developers. We’ll discuss using PDF 2.0 to support PDF 1.7, taking advantage of PDF 2.0’s new features, PDF in the Open Data context, and what blockchain and distributed ledger technology could mean for documents.
  • May 16 is dedicated to the third PDF 2.0 Interop Workshop. Developers can use the event to test their understanding of PDF 2.0, validate their test files and software against 3rd party implementations and discuss the specifications with members of the ISO committee.
  • It’s not all about the future! Practical relevance and inspiration in tackling today’s problems is at the heart of every PDF Days event.
  • Breathing Berlin air can be really inspiring. Berlin is not only the capital of Germany, but also an attractive business and technology location and a symbol of successful change and diversity. Berlin is easily accessible.
