From the NISO [National Information Standards Organization] Online:
"PDF Archival Approved"
"In balloting that closed on May 23, ISO/DIS 19005-1, the PDF Archival
standard, Document Management -- Electronic Document File Format for
Long-term Preservation -- Part 1: Use of PDF 1.4 (PDF/A-1), received
unanimous approval to become an International Standard. This new
standard defines a file format based on Adobe's PDF that provides a way
to represent electronic documents in a manner that preserves their
visual appearance over time, independent of the tools and systems used
for creating, storing, or rendering the files.
"Using PDF/A is expected to bring about cost savings, vendor
independence, system change control, and flexible distribution.
"Upon publication in approximately one month, the standard will be
available from ISO."
