On January 25, 2012, the GWG, together with the Belgian and Dutch graphic arts associations, is organizing a free seminar concerning standardization and preflight. You are kindly invited to an exciting afternoon where a lot can be learned and where you will have ample opportunity to present your own issues. The GWG wants, in fact, to be sure that what it is working on will actually mean an improvement for you.
To allow as much interaction as possible, the seminar will be held in the local language, Dutch; however, at least one speaker from Adobe will be giving a presentation in English. Here as well, we will provide the opportunity to ask questions and/or give comments in the local language.
We hope to welcome many of you to this seminar, which will undoubtedly present a lot of material to think about and hopefully give you a better vision of where the GWG is heading with regards to PDF standardization.
