EPUB 3: A Foundation For the Future
McCoy sees a bright future for digital publishing if we live in an open-web-based world. The result is a richer environment for publishers to develop content at lower cost.
McCoy has plenty of experience in the area of horizontal digital technology. Before his current post at the IDPF, McCoy was general manager of digital publishing at Adobe Systems. While at Adobe, McCoy was involved in the development of what have become some of the most well-known standards in publishing, including PostScript, OpenType, and PDF. "Those all have been very successful horizontal standards," says McCoy. "In other words there's not a separate PDF for magazines and a separate PDF for ads and a separate PDF journals and a separate PDF for books. There's one PDF format that meets the needs of a wide range of publication types."
