Is it still version 1.0?
The current version is 4.01, and it has been stable since 1999. The
next version, 5, is approaching Last Call, and is unlikely to break
anything that is actually in use.
So your definition of "stable" is that there are no post-1.0
versions? Even compatible ones? Just asking...
Tools does not support restricted profile very well, as was
demonstrated by a circled 'R' character in a claimed-to-be-pure-ASCII
PDF.
So Microsoft Word inserted a registered-trademark symbol into an
*internal properties field* of a PDF file whose *contents* were claimed
to be pure ASCII, and now it is claimed that this demonstrates not only
that the contents of a PDF file cannot be plain ASCII, but also that
HTML is too unstable for a reduced-feature profile to be successful?
For an Engineering Task Force, this group sure does surprise me
sometimes with its logical reasoning.
