Andy Updegrove writes “Adobe PDF has tended to be a footnote in the ODF story to date, principally figuring into the saga by presenting a somewhat troubling question: did the Massachusetts Information Technology Division (ITD) draw too fine a distinction in saying “no” to the Microsoft XML Reference Schema (especially after Microsoft agreed to make modifications to its license terms) while saying “yes” to Adobe PDF? But an interview with Adobe CEO Bruce Chizen indicates that Adobe’s control of PDF – and now Flash – may give it a far bigger role from the desktop to mobile devices in the future than ODF may give to any other vendor.”
