That's how it works for ISO International Standards documentation. http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards.htm

this is a joke right?
an international standard that you have to pay to access?

Friends,

I apologize for the cross-posting.

PDF/UA is now a US National Standard in addition to an ISO specification. This new US edition is available directly from AIIM for $15. AIIM Professional members may download it for free.

PDF Association article:

The document's no more readable than before (it's the same highly technical content as the ISO original)… but it is much cheaper!

All the best,
