In what I consider a great move, <a href="http://www.adobe.com">Adobe</a> has released the PDF specification for acceptance as a ISO standard: 

<a href="http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200701/012907OpenPDFAIIM.html">Adobe to Release PDF for Industry Standardization</a>

I really think they needed to do this to help circumvent Microsoft&apos;s push of their <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/xps/default.mspx">XML Paper Specification</a> (which is also being submitted to for standards approval).

This is definitely a step in the right direction. Good work <a href="http://www.adobe.com">Adobe</a>!
