Sponsoring ’30 years of PDF’

The PDF Association is currently producing a professionally-developed documentary to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the official launch of PDF 1.0: June 15, 2023.

"30 years of PDF" will recount the story of PDF up to the present day, including many of the people, personalities, organizations and events that influenced the evolution of the format and build the world in which we find ourselves today. Reciting the history of PDF must balance the good with the bad and the ugly.

The movie will be distributed and promoted:

• Via pdfa.org
• In a press-release
• In an in-person push to technology journalists
• Via YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn
• A limited paid-promotional campaign on LinkedIn

The movie will be produced by David Kuznicki, an award-winning documentary film maker. David Brock, an historian and curator at the Computer History Museum, has agreed to participate in its development.

Depending on community support the initial 30 minute documentary will be expanded with additional interviews for a subsequent release later in 2023.

This movie is NOT yet announced and is NOT public information. Please do not discuss the production in public until its release.
