ISO/TS 32003:2023

This document specifies how to extend the specification contained in ISO 32000-2 by adding extensions to the Encrypt dictionary to support the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)-Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) encryption algorithm.

These extensions are intended for developers of:

¾    software that creates PDF files (PDF writers);

¾     software that reads existing PDF files and (usually) interprets their contents for display (PDF readers);

¾     software that reads and displays PDF content and interacts with the computer users to possibly modify and save the PDF file (interactive PDF processors) and PDF products that read and/or write PDF files for a variety of other purposes (PDF processors).

NOTE       PDF writers and PDF readers are more specialized classifications of interactive PDF processors and all are PDF processors.

This document does not specify the following:

—    specific processes for converting paper or electronic documents to the PDF file format;

—    specific technical design, user interface implementation, or operational details of rendering;

—    specific physical methods of storing these documents such as media and storage conditions;

—    methods for validating the conformance of PDF files or PDF processors;

—    required computer hardware and/or operating system.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:

• mandatory clauses to satisfy,
• non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document "ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents" as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
