PDF history from Wikipedia:
PDF was developed in the early 1990s as a way to share computer documents, including text formatting and inline images. Adobe Systems made the PDF specification available free of charge in 1993. PDF was a proprietary format controlled by Adobe, until it was officially released as an open standard on July 1, 2008, and published by the International Organization for Standardization as ISO 32000-1:2008.In 2014, ISO TC 171 voted to deprecate XFA for ISO.On January 9, 2017, the final draft for ISO 32000-2 was published, thus reaching the approval stage.32000-2 ("Next-generation PDF").
