The Open Design Alliance (ODA) has licensed the Adobe PDF Library software development kit (SDK) from Adobe Systems Incorporated for integration with the ODA platform.
Integration with the Adobe PDF Library SDK gives the ODA platform access to a set of tools to support rendering of DWG 2010 PDF underlays and provides the ability to expand PDF support in the future. Previous releases of the ODA platform included in-house support for exporting to the widely used format, and ODA says this new agreement will streamline and improve this functionality.
“This is a logical extension to the ODA’s new component strategy,” says Arnold van der Weide, ODA president. “Interfacing with the Adobe PDF technology will not only reduce ODA maintenance and development efforts while improving quality, but it will also allow us to embark on new development.”
