Adobe Mars -- Adobe is working on a way to create documents that are made up of files that adhere to industry standards (SVG, XML, etc...) and are 'packaged' as a ZIP archive. So, this may be a more developer friendly XML based PDF like thing - Several people at Adobe are declaring "Mars Attacks" as it may be an "answer" to Microsoft's new XPS file format. Being known as the PDF Evangelist does have it's downside - hopefully it will be painless!

I will be participating on a panel at the Lyra Imaging Symposium on January 30th, 2007 at the Rancho Las Palmas hotel in Rancho Mirage, California (near Palm Springs)
