Digital work processes have been more in demand than ever due to the COVID-19 pandemic and have significantly boosted the use of PDF formats and PDF software.

Due to the pandemic, the need for digital services, home office, and digital communication with citizens in public administration has increased since 2020. However, signatures are still required for most digital workflows, especially in public authorities and administrative processes. This means that dealing with electronic signatures is unavoidable.

Last year's PDF Days once again offered valuable input and updates on PDF developments. In addition to PDF ISO standards, the focus was on showcasing the variety of PDF applications and newly developed solutions. Due to the COVID pandemic, the use of digital technologies increased significantly, and the PDF format became even more established.
