PDF’s ISO-standardizied subsets: a tour

Dietrich von Seggern, Managing Director of callas software, will be hosting a presentation titled “PDF’s ISO-standardized subsets: a tour” at the PDF Days Europe 2018.

Presenter: Dietrich von Seggern received his degree as a printing engineer, and in 1991 started his professional career as head of desktop prepress production in a reproduction house. He became involved in research projects for digital transmission of print files, and moved to the German Newspaper Marketing Organisation (ZMG). There, Dietrich was responsible for a project to enable the digital transmission of newspaper ads. In 2002 he joined callas software as Director of Product Management, and subsequently introduced callas’ PDF/A related products for the archiving industry. After becoming Business Development Manager in 2010 Dietrich became one of the Managing Directors of callas in 2016.

Session Description: This session delivers an overview about PDF/X, PDF/A, PDF/E, PDF/VT and PDF/UA. Their specific use cases are explained and how related requirements are transferred into provisions of the respective standards. The development of the standards also show how the general use of PDF has been changed over time starting with PDF/X where PDF is an intermediate product for printed paper to PDF/UA where PDF is much more than what could be printed.
