What are Mars and PDFXML?
Mars is the code name for a project developing an XML-based representation of PDF documents called PDFXML. XML, Extensible Markup Language, is a cross-platform, extensible, and text-based standard for representing data of all kinds. PDF, Portable Document Format, is the global standard to reliably view, print, and share documentation over the web and with other people, regardless of a computer’s operating system. PDF preserves all of the fonts, formatting, colors, and graphics of any source document.
