Wow - $695 in 1993! That rivals the $700 I spent on HP's first laser printer at about the same time. (It printed in black at a whopping 300 dpi.) Were we rich or stupid? ;-))))) Alison Technical Documentation Specialist BK Ultrasound | acr...@bkultrasound.com | bkultrasound.com -----Original Message----- From: Framers [mailto:framers-bounces+acraig=bkultrasound....@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Pat Christenson Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2016 1:57 PM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: [Framers] OT: The history of PDF Ouch.

Pat Christenson -----Original Message----- From: Framers [mailto:framers-bounces+pat.christenson=morningstar....@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Klaus Daube Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2016 2:27 PM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: [Framers] OT: The history of PDF Cleaning out my personal archives, I stumbled across a pdf which I created from a site: http://www.prepressure.com/pdf/history/history01.htm The text has been moved to http://www.prepressure.com/pdf/basics/history now, but it's the same: The history of PDF The first time Adobe actually talked about this technology was at a Seybold conference in San Jose in 1991. At that time, it was referred to as 'IPS' which stood for 'Interchange PostScript.' Version 1.0 of PDF was announced at Comdex Fall in 1992 where the technology won a 'best of Comdex' award. The tools to create and view PDF-files, Acrobat, were released in on 15 June 1993. This first version was of no use for the prepress community. It already featured internal links and bookmarks and fonts could be embedded but the only colour space supported was RGB. Watch the senence «Adobe asked a steep price for the tools to create PDF files. Acrobat Distiller was available in personal and network versions, priced at $695 and $2,495 respectively.» Hm, the older I grow the more I'm interested in history ...
