ISO 32000 (PDF Specification)

ISO 32000 is an international standard that defines the technical rules for creating, viewing, and sharing PDF files. It ensures consistent formatting across different devices and software, allowing documents to appear exactly the same everywhere. The standard covers how text, images, links, and interactive elements are stored within the file. This consistency makes PDFs reliable for official documents, reports, and forms, ensuring preservation of layout and content integrity over time and across platforms. Essentially, ISO 32000 provides the blueprint that keeps PDFs uniform and functional worldwide.
