The PDF Association is pleased to announce the immediate availability of a unique extension for Visual Studio Code called "pdf-cos-syntax" that will provide support for a wide range of software developers.
In order to support both those who are learning PDF as a page description language as well as more experienced developers who are looking for ways to write targeted PDF test files, this extension extends the popular programming editor with detailed PDF syntax awareness and a rich feature set.. Despite the fact that PDF is technically not a pure text format, creating and experimenting with simple PDF files that are text-based is a great way to understand PDF - and now that this extension has been integrated into the VSCode development environment, this has even become easier.

There is a full list of the extension's features available on the extension's VSCode extension page as well as in this repository on GitHub.
