Crawford Technologies Inc Becomes First Canadian Member of PDF/A Competence Center Files
Toronto, Ontario, April 2nd, 2007. Crawford Technologies Inc. (CrawfordTech) today announced
it has become the first Canadian member of the PDF/A Competence
Center (www.pdfa.org). The
PDF/A Competence Center activities include cooperation on further
advancements of the PDF/A standard, conducting seminars and
serving as a competent point of contact for questions regarding all
aspects of PDF/A.
PDF/A is the ISO 19005 standard for long term archiving in PDF
format. It comprises a limited variant of PDF for the use of PDF
in long-term archiving. The standard specifies in detail what
content is allowed and what is not. These specifications are
intended to ensure long-term readability of the documents
regardless of the application software and operating system in
which they were originally produced. Experts predict that the
designation of PDF/A as an ISO standard will promote the popularity
of this PDF format and advantages, such as full text search
capabilities, will lead to it replacing TIFF in the near
future.
"CrawfordTech fully recognizes and embraces the PDF/A standard
as a very important format in the pursuit of long-term preservation
of critical business documents and information" says Ernie
Crawford, President, Crawford Technologies Inc., adding "We are
committed to supporting PDF/A in our industry leading PRO Suite of
software solutions so we can continue to provide our customers with
all of the options that they need to meet their information
conversion and preservation needs".
