Looking back to 2002, it's amazing how much of the prediction became a reality. Take a read and see what you think!
So take an very interesting read of where I predicted the future back in 2002. After 16 years, I'm pretty chuffed that I've been been accurate. Well, at least in many scenarios :-). So read on to find out what was "guess-pected" 15 years ago!!
Here we go...
Planet PDF is a founding co-sponsor of the PDF Conference (www.pdfconference.com), developed and hosted by DigiPub Solutions Corp., and we were delighted to learn recently that Gary Cosimini of Adobe Systems, Inc. will be the keynote speaker for the June 2-4 event in Bethesda, MD. In the past, this event has had a significant focus on government and enterprise uses and users. For the upcoming event, they've added a track for creative professionals. With Cosimini's publishing background ? prior to joining Adobe, he was the Senior Art Director for The New York Times ? and long-term Acrobat/PDF involvement and interest, he's a perfect choice to help commemorate 'The First Acrobat/PDF Decade.'
Years ago (and years!) when we used to talk about PDF as being the most prominent document format, we'd always have to add a quick, under-the-breath, "de-facto standard". But when it came to being 100 percent assured that it would be around in years to come, it's always been a case of biting our collective lips and hoping for the best. What we would do if Adobe pulled the plug? Over the past two years, though, it's been nothing but standards, standards, standards when it comes to PDF. In fact, there are so many that it's easy to lose track. In this feature article, Planet PDF Editor Karl De Abrew helps to de-mystify the ever-increasing range of PDF-based standards.
It's straightforward to apply watermarks to PDF pages if you have the right software. Using the example of a review process, this tip uses the example of adding a "Draft" watermark to a document in order to distinguish it from the final version. This tip shows you how to accomplish this popular task in Adobe Acrobat or Debenu PDF Tools Pro.
Converting a scanned PDF to text hasn't always been easy or cheap, but with the optical character recognition (OCR) technology to Google Drive, it is now free and pretty easy to boot. In this article Rowan Hanna takes a closer look at how to convert scanned PDFs to text documents using Google Drive.
Ever wanted to link through to specific pages or named destinations within your PDF files? This tip from Jeremy Koadlow explains how.
Reordering pages in a PDF document is basically as easy and dragging and dropping. It is something that comes in handy when a document has been saved as a PDF and just needs slight reordering to make it perfect. Here is a step by step guide to do it in Adobe Acrobat 11.

Well, this could be more than just a little problem. Using Microsoft Edge's Print to PDF feature could put the wrong text in the wrong place at the wrong time.
With less than two weeks to go, I'm getting pretty excited about the PDF Days Europe 2017. Aside from schooling my German, it also gives me some great access to the latest and greatest PDF experts.
