AIIM DINNER MEETING
TOPIC: Records Management Applications of Adobe=s
Portable Document Format
One of the most popular document formats in the today=s modern office is
the portable document format (or PDF) created by Adobe. Many people
appreciate the navigability of this file format, its ability to capture
and freeze the look of a digital document created originally in another
format, and its portability. Others complain, however, that PDF is a
proprietary format with little value for archives, and relatively few
organizations have yet taken advantage of the power and usability of PDFs
to transform office operations. This presentation will give an overview of
PDF, focusing on issues such as the development of PDF/A (a version of PDF
for the long-term storage of archival records), enhanced security options
with PDFs, the use of PDF to generate and complete forms, to process and
approve records, and to distribute information. The portable document
format holds much promise for the archivist and records manager, but it
raises questions as well, and this session will examine both sides of the
story.
