Following up a similar survey conducted in 2008, The Ghent Workgroup is aiming to gather data find out what has changed since and gain insight on today’s PDF use.

The survey aims to make the participants and the Ghent Workgroup (an international assembly of industry associations, suppliers, educators and industry members) aware of the state of PDF in document production, and current issues the creators and service providers are facing. Further, it wants to discover how well GWG specifications and tools (and other PDF standards) are being adopted and what the worldwide differences are.

‘The more information we gather, the better equipped we will be to improve our solutions and industry best practices,’ explained David Zwang, chairman. ‘The collective responses will develop a better understanding of how processes have changed, which specifications are being adopted, and how workflows vary. This will help GWG improve the solutions it offers.’

The survey can be shared with others PDF workflow users. All participants will be entered into prize a draw.
