PDF Reference Version 1.6, 5/e

Description:

The FDA requires that drug approvals be submitted in this format, and U.S. federal courts request that it be used for electronic case filing. We're talking, of course, about PDF (or Portable Document Format), and with more than 600 million copies of its reader (Adobe Acrobat) downloaded, and governments and enterprises around the world using it to streamline document management, chances are you'll be called to develop for it as well. This comprehensive reference makes sure you're ready! Containing all of the info from previous editions, plus new material on what's been added to PDF Version 1.5, this essential guide makes a highly technical subject accessible and intelligible. You'll find complete coverage of all major aspects of the format¿imaging model, architecture, syntax, graphics, operators, fonts, and rendering--as well as highly readable explanations of its interactive and multimedia features, transparency capabilities, intellectual property issues, and more. The first and last word on the most current PDF spec from the people who know it best: Adobe!
