Ron,

I'm sorry you feel that way, and I apologize if I've contributed to a misunderstanding.

I've never said that PDF (or PDF/UA) is "fundamentally broken" - if it were, then I wouldn't have wasted the last 11 years working on the subject, including 6 years as chair of the US Committee.

Feel free to contact me offline (contact information below) so that I can have a chance to better understand and address (if I can) your concerns.

Once I understand your concerns in detail, I will be delighted to take them to the PDF/UA Committee so that we can improve the standard accordingly.

You are also welcome to join the US Committee for PDF/UA yourself, if it's of interest to you.

sincerely,

Duff Johnson

US Committee for ISO/DIS 14289 (PDF/UA), Chair
