Seybold show highlights PDF and color management

Article Abstract:

The Seybold Publishing 98 trade show in New York City, responding to criticism that 1997 shows overemphasized the Internet, gave equal coverage to the Web, print and prepress and highlighted some important new technologies and products. Prepress users discussed Adobe's Portable Document Format in numerous sessions and talks, expressing both enthusiasm for the compact, cross-platform file format's potential and frustration over its current limitations. XML, a major buzzword in 1997, continued to get attention in 1998. The markup language is a compromise between HTML and SGML that adds data awareness and extensibility to the standard Web format. Pantone showcased a complete Hexachrome workflow, while Apple released its ColorSync 2.5 color-management software for Windows and Microsoft kept a low profile, co-sponsoring XML Day and providing technical support at the DEC booth.

Editor's notebook; show stoppers and other climaxes

Article Abstract:

The big news at the Seybold Seminars San Francisco/Publishing 98 was the large number of digital-asset management (DAM) systems. Enthusiastic vendors gave projections that the DAM market could be worth as much as $3 billion to $6 billion by 2001. The maturing of the publishing market was also apparent at the show not only in new breakthroughs but also changed expectations. The initial excitement associated with the World Wide Web seems to have been sustained. Business issues related to making the medium work and participating in it have yet to be resolved. The medium remains two-dimensional and users have to be content with image processing, page layout and animation programs.
