LONDON, UK November 18, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Growth in the use of the PDF/A format is gathering momentum around the world. This trend is supported by the PDF/A Competence Center which says "Awareness of the ISO (International Standards Organization) standard for long-term archiving, PDF/A, has spread throughout Europe to the point that it is considered in nearly all projects." BFO is experiencing a rapid rise in demand from businesses in the region, with increasing adoption in the United States also.
The PDF/A standard was first approved by ISO participating companies in 2005 and is rapidly replacing TIFF, JPEG and Simple PDF's as the preferred archiving format for Governments, multinational companies and private businesses that need long term archiving of documents which meet statutory requirements. Long term archiving is assisted through PDF/A's support for digital signatures, XML data exchange and interactive forms.
Companies looking to switch to PDF/A can download a free trial version of the Big Faceless PDF Library, which supports the format - http://big.faceless.org/products/download.jsp
