Perusing this list of technology winners for the graphic arts industry really points out the level of stagnation that has set in across the industry. It also shows the relative misplacement of focus on rather simple, user-level advancements such as PDFTansit as opposed to developments that can really change the fundamental production models of the industry.

Adobe is a great company and has done more in the graphic arts space than anyone. Their PostScript, and then PDF, technologies have literally revolutionized the entire industry. But to choose PDFTransit as the top technical achievement in 2002 is like granting Schering Pharmaceuticals an achievement award for their remake of Claritin into Clarinex -- it is a change from existing products, but not much of one.
