Abstract

PDF/Archive (PDF/A), a new archiving standard from ISO, could help stop the terrific global loss of digital data across campuses. This session will discuss how colleges and universities can use PDF/A to preserve the fidelity of digital works for generations to come. Because PDF/A is being developed under the publicly available and highly prevalent PDF standard, the format will not succumb to technological obsolescence over time.
