Dear all,

On the 30th anniversary of PDF technology, we're excited to announce the
availability of the first development preview of a new veraPDF-powered
application. Building on the great work done by the PDF Association
supported by the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), veraPDF
has developed an open-source PDF checker based on the Arlington PDF Model.
This application is separate from the veraPDF PDF/A and PDF/UA validator
but comprises a very familiar package of GUI and command-line applications.

*The Arlington PDF Model is an invaluable resource for anyone developing or
testing PDF tools. *Read more about the development here.

The veraPDF development team have utilised  Arlington in a way that's
compatible with the veraPDF architecture. The Arlington PDF Model-based
checker can now analyse PDF files against the full PDF 2.0 specification,
including errata, by downloading the Java-based installer (Win, MacOS,
Linux, requires Java 8+ JRE installed) at veraPDF Software Downloads

Best wishes,
Helena
