PDF Functionality in Office 2007 - Yes, No or Maybe?
Wednesday, November 8th, 2006 |
A few months ago word came out that Microsoft was going to include PDF functionality in their next version of Office.
When Microsoft quietly let the world know it surprised many - because it was done with little fanfare. But it was clear why they decided upon this. Government said they would only use office suites that only supported open formats … like PDF.
Microsoft has literally been dragged kicking and screaming into accepting open standards (remember: Microsoft have made their billions on stringent proprietary software over the years), but times are a changin’, hence their move to include PDF in Office 2007 - and the people (that’ll be the customers who fork out the money for such products) have been asking for this for years.
