A PDF Progress Report --McIlroy

The Seybold organization has just released the results of an ambitious project to try and find the answers to some of the tough questions that surround making PDF workflows work. (I worked with Seybold 'till 2001—but not on this project.)

The in-depth "PDF Workflow Shootout & Usage Survey" ($450 from Seybold Publications) is an 84-page report that looks at two sides of the problem: what do publishers (PDF generators) want, and what do printers (PDF processors) want?
