ISO/TC 171/SC 2/WG 7 - PDF/Engineering

This document specifies how to extend the ISO 32000-2 specification by adding the ISO 10303-242 (STEP AP 242) format as a valid format for 3D assets contained in a RichMedia annotation. It is intended for: — developers of software that creates PDF files (PDF writers); — software that reads existing PDF files and usually interprets their contents for display (PDF readers); — software that reads and displays PDF content and interacts with the computer users to possibly modify and save the PDF file (PDF processors); — PDF products that read and/or write PDF files for a variety of other purposes (PDF processors). Note PDF writers and PDF readers are more specialised classifications of PDF processors. This document does not specify the following: — specific processes for converting paper or electronic documents to the PDF file format; — specific technical design, user interface implementation, or operational details of rendering; — specific physical methods of storing these documents such as media and storage conditions; — methods for validating the conformance of PDF files or PDF processors; — required computer hardware and/or operating system.

This document defines a set of ECMAScript object types for automating and interacting with PDF documents and the contents of such documents.
