<h1>FSFE launches Free PDF Readers campaign</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <a href="https://my.fsfe.org/donate">Fellowship</a>
|
|
of the Free Software Foundation Europe is proud to announce its latest
|
|
initiative: <a href="http://pdfreaders.org/">pdfreaders.org</a>, a site
|
|
providing information about PDF with links to Free Software PDF readers
|
|
for all major operating systems.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>"Interoperability, competition and choice are primary benefits of Open
|
|
Standards that translate into vendor-independence and better value for
|
|
money for customers," says FSFE president Georg Greve. "Although many
|
|
versions of PDF offer all these benefits for formatted text and
|
|
documents, files in PDF formats typically come with information that
|
|
users need to use a specific product. pdfreaders.org provides an
|
|
alternative to highlight the strengths of PDF as an Open Standard."</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The coordinators of pdfreaders.org, Hannes Hauswedell and Jan-Hendrik
|
|
Peters, are pleased to present the latest revision of the site with
|
|
short and compact information how users can seize the full benefits of
|
|
both Open Standards and Free Software.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>"Free Software gives us control over the software we use, and Open
|
|
Standards give us control over our data and allow implementations by
|
|
many different groups," explains Jan-Hendrik Peters. "We wanted to
|
|
show that with the Portable Document Format people can have both."</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Hannes Hauswedell adds: "Similar to a Free Software project we started
|
|
off with an idea, provided a first implementation, received lots of
|
|
feedback, and worked that into a better version of the site. We are
|
|
grateful to all the people who got involved. This was a collaborative
|
|
effort that would not have been possible without all the contributors."</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>"The site offers buttons in several languages that we encourage
|
|
everyone to put next to PDF files offered on their sites," explains
|
|
Matthias Kirschner, FSFE's Fellowship Coordinator. "We hope that in a
|
|
year from now, no PDF is offered without the vendor-independent
|
|
alternative buttons of pdfreaders.org."</p>
