GWG releases specs for office printing, outlines plans for XPS
The Ghent PDF Workgroup issued a press release in which they announce their new specifications for Microsoft Office document printing. They also outline their areas of future development, of which the following are very interesting for the XPS market:
I've written about the GWG before, and I attended two of their meetings already.
Their work on best practices regarding PDF is legendary, and a lot of bright folks are in these meetings. It's a good sign that XPS is taken seriously, and I'm looking forward to the work the GWG will do around XPS. ¶ 09:38
