I like the fact that PDF/A is
- so ubiquitous as to be familiar to most users
- easy for basic documents
- because of these 2 factors, it is acceptable to most users
- open-source
- likely (as you yourself informed me) to be readable in 100 years
In terms of future development, I would like to see it developed so that this 'easiness' extends to complex documents -eg: multi table Excels...
Warm regards

Subject: PDF/A format
Hi all - I have a question, which I pose on behalf of the BSI committee responsible for input into the PDF format specification. I am attending a meeting of the international committee in late April where the next phases of development will be decided
So my question is:
What do you love or hate about PDF/A?
And as a supplementary - what would you like to see developed for PDF/A (and other PDF formats)?
I look forward to receiving a number of views, and perhaps a discussion on what the Records Management industry would like to see to improve Digital Continuity
Regards
Alan Shipman
