Artwork-Systems User Group

I was watching a thread on a forum where people were talking about creating a Artwork-Systems user group. I asked if people would join if I created one. They said yes. And then there was.

Now the user group that I started is not an officially sanctioned user group. It's one of those grass roots efforts. I'm hoping that it will become a sanctioned user group. I get the impression that the community at large would like to have one.

Being unofficial means that Artwork-Systems may not be too happy with it. I can understand that. I do have a few basic rules for it. No bashing vendors or users. We're all adults here. I don't take it from my two sons so why would I take it from adults? Topics need to stay focused on the topic at hand. If you want to kick back and relax there is a cafe section where you can do just that with your favorite java or a Stella Artois. Anyone is free to sign up but account activation is a manual process. I verify all account applications. So fill out those profiles so I can approve the application in a timely manner.

I hope to see you there!

PDF is for you

Well I've gone and done it again...

I have started to compile information, useful and practical, information on PDF and what it means to you on my newest website. "You" being those concerned with creating and sending PDFs for various needs such as basic communications, PDF/A for archiving, PDF/E for engineering, PDF/H for health care and PDF/X for graphic arts. I hope to have a wiki going soon with the help of the PDF community. I would love to have your participation. I would also love to see a vendor or two get behind this and help with supplying content. The ultimate goal is to consolidate as much of the PDF, PDF/A,E,H & X information floating around the internet into one focused spot. If you would like to volunteer your time and assistance I would love to hear from you. I promise to keep the site advertising free as long as I can afford to.
