"Beyond this, however, lies a sizable ecosystem of less-visible open-source utilities, libraries, and SDKs which are used inside enterprises as part of PDF workflows and automated batch processing. Finding and updating these components, often buried deep inside third-party libraries, promises to be time consuming. If enterprises delay updating, then they risk encountering PDFs created using newer software supporting Brotli that will no longer open on their older, non-updated programs. IT teams will most likely come face to face with this when users contact them to report that they can't open a file."
"Building Brotli support To kick off adoption, developers need encouragement, said Guust Ysebie, a software engineer with document processing developer Apryse. "Somebody has to jump first and make some noise so other products jump on the bandwagon," he said."
A broad, less-visible ecosystem of open-source utilities, libraries, and SDKs supports enterprise PDF workflows and automated batch processing. Locating and updating these components can be time-consuming because many are embedded within third-party libraries. Delayed updates create a compatibility risk when newer PDFs use Brotli compression and older programs without Brotli support fail to open them. IT teams are likely to encounter this problem when users report they cannot open files. Accelerating Brotli adoption requires early adopters and encouragement for developers to implement support so downstream products follow.
