A PDF 2.0 Test for the Real World

PDF is a universal, non-proprietary method of exchanging documents. Millions of PDF documents are accessible from the web, and over a half-
billion Adobe Readers have been downloaded from Adobe’s website. PDF interpreters have found their way to hard copy devices, accelerating the
printing process by eliminating the transform between PDF and other printer languages in the printer driver. Now, with the release of the ISO
32000-2 (https://www.iso.org/standard/63534.html) standard, PDF 2.0 testing is a requirement.

 
Numerous Adobe and non-Adobe products can produce PDF files in seven versions of the PDF file format. The application that created the

document, the PDF producer configuration options, and editing of the PDF document can all influence the composition of the PDF file. This

creates almost infinite permutations to test. If you develop software, mobile apps, or hardware to read and interpret PDF files, the testing challenge
is immense.

You can meet this challenge with the PDF InteropAnalyzer, a test suite that validates your device’s ability to handle PDFs as they are currently used

in the business environment, as well as those created using the latest releases of popular applications.

PDF 2.0 Interoperability Testing

The PDF InteropAnalyzer comprises two distinct test suites. The Installed Base Test
Suite is a statistical sampling of PDF files from the Internet, representing the
installed base of PDF files your customers will most likely use with your products.
The Compatibility Test Suite tests the new features in PDF 2.0, as well as features in
all prior versions, in a feature-targeted PDF test page developed through an
application.

Installed Base Test Suite

New types of PDF files are included in the PDF 2.0 InteropAnalyzer to support the increasing level of native PDF capabilities available in mobile
platforms, such as iOS and Android Smartphone and Tablet apps. This new version includes support for the following types of PDF files:

Windows, Macintosh, iOS, and Android-based applications and PDF creators

Enterprise-level publication PDFs ranging from large page count to professional-quality documents
Languages including Asian, Middle Eastern, and European encodings and fonts

You can be sure the tests you run using the PDF InteropAnalyzer represent PDFs in the real world. QualityLogic has created a database of over
11,000 files covering the full spectrum of PDFs by using a popular search engine’s ability to find PDF files. Using a database of popular search terms,
we searched for PDF files using 625 distinct topics, enabling us to identify over 10,000 PDF files from 8,000 unique websites. These files were run
through a custom Adobe Acrobat Pre-Flight Profile, which identified 180 key characteristics in each file. These characteristics are grouped as
follows:

Annotations Types ColorSpace/BitsPerColor Types Compression Types

Document Properties Fonts Types Forms Types

Halftone Types Image Types Miscellaneous

Rendering Types Transparency Types Errors Types

Compatibility Test Suite

This suite contains a sampling of PDF features found in all PDF versions, with limited coverage for PDF features described below. For more
comprehensive conformance testing, we recommend the PDF 2.0 Functional Test Suite (https://www.qualitylogic.com/what-we-test/print-

is critical.

way to query this database for files with specific characteristics, allowing the addition of an open-ended number of test suites.
 You can create your own test sets with the click of a button. Just specify the characteristics you want the files to contain or omit, and the Query
builder will identify the specific files that meet that criteria. Once a test set is identified, you can:

Copy the test files to a designated directory
Generate a file list for batch or automation processes

After selecting the files, you can produce an analysis report with a variety of options.
