A variety of PDF specifications have become established as international standards. The first was
for PDF/A (archival purposes) and there have been others since.
There are of course open-source versions of PDF and Postscript viewers and creators. The code that
produces and reads PDF in LibreOffice is clearly an open implementation.
The inclusion of attachments and even having an index of attachments is covered in the ISO PDF
Standard. It is this feature that is used for hybrid ODF-PDF documents:
<http://blogs.adobe.com/insidepdf/2010/11/pdf-file-attachments.html>. (You'll notice that making
hybrid Microsoft Office - PDF documents is a feature of Adobe Acrobat products.)
The agreement for interoperability with ODF attachments in PDF documents and how they are handled
automatically is up to the supporters of ODF-PDF hybrid documents. There is nothing that Adobe
needs to do. Any ODF-specific protocol is a matter for the ODF-supporting office suites to work
out.
If someone wanted to work up and publish an agreed profile for this use case, the OASIS ODF
Interoperability and Conformance TC could be used for that purpose. It would then be up to ODF
Consumers that also produce and consume PDF to line up.
This is also something that could be made the subject of ODF Plugfest activity.

Hi :)
Pdf is a proprietary format. There is no "Open" version and no community. Testing is done on a
relatively small number of machines. It would be really great if there were a successfull
OpenDocument Format equivalent that gained even as much traction as Odt etc have.

Tom :)

Hi Everyone,
I'm asking about the standardization of *hybrid pdf* format.
This is because I think it is a very useful "thing", but I don't want to use it too much if it is a
weak standard that is pretty near to be changed or abandoned.
Is Oasis-Open or ISO or other standard Organization well defining this format?
What do you think about?
Have a nice evening,
Carlo
