Adobe labs developed a plugin for Acrobat to create an "XML-friendly representation of PDF".<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20080919181131/https://blogs.adobe.com/mars/2008/09/pdfxml_plugin_prerelease.html</ref> Originally called the MARS project, it was later renamed to PDFXML. Started in 2006, the project was shutdown in 2011 and removed from public access.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20110902063203/http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/mars</ref>

== File Information ==

The PDFXML file format uses [[ZIP]] as a container format, and [[SVG]] for each page and [[JPEG2000]] for each image.

File format specifications and schema were published at the time, but unfortunately the archive.org captures of the website have truncated PDF's.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20061222203316/http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/mars/</ref> If anyone has copies of the original specification or schema please post a link here.

Basic container contains the following structure:
<pre>
├── META-INF
│   ├── compatibility.pdf
│   ├── container.xml
│   └── metadata.xml
├── backbone.xml
├── bookmarks.xml
├── color
│   └── cs-0.icc
├── form
│   └── form_data.xfdf
├── mimetype
├── page
│   └── 0
│   ├── form_0.svg
│   ├── form_1.svg
│   ├── form_2.svg
│   ├── info.xml
│   ├── pg.can
│   └── pg.svg
└── script
├── javascripts.xml
└── js_0
</pre>
