Hi Leonard,
as a very clear statement in my role as Chairman of the ECI (and one of the developers of
the Altona Test Suite v2):
- there is **NOTHING** wrong with the PDF files in Altona Test Suite v2 (neither in the
originally published version nor in this 2016 update)
- PDF 2.0 is neither (ISO internally) finalized nor published yet; thus there was no
reason to even consider making it a PDF 2.0 conforming set of PDF files; Altona Test Suite
v2 is still based on PDF/X-4 (and by implication on PDF 1.6)
- in terms of expected rendering results of page content on the Technical page of Altona
Test Suite v2 involving transparency on the background of the recently (less than two
months ago) updated clause “11. Transparency “ in the 3rd DIS of ISO 32000-2, the ECI
members who have developed Altona Test Suite v2 have reason to assume that no adjustments
in the test pages are or will become necessary
In case you disagree with any of this, please submit detailed bug reports and preferably
specific test files that prove your point.
Thanks,
Olaf Drümmer
Chairman of the European Color Initiative (ECI)

But has anyone modified the tests to comply with ISO 32000-2 yet? If so, whats the point
since these files still remain invalid?!?!

Subject: [PDFX-next] Altona Test Suite 2.0 Update (2016)
Dear friends & colleagues,
bvdm announces “ATS2+”, the FOGRA51 + FOGRA52 update (2016) of its Altona Test Suite 2.0
Application Kit (2013). The new PC1 and PC5 reference prints on Sappi stock are of
excellent quality. They were produced at Heidelberg PMC Commercial end of February under
supervision of Florian Süssl (curves, colorimetric targets, tolerances, drifts) and
Michael Dischinger (Heidelberg PMC: protocol of Prinect Inpress Control).
By subscripting until April 30, the buyers will save 100 Euro. Additionally, the
“membership price” is also for members of our circle. The update alone costs 15 Euro, if
you already possess an ATS2 with serial number.
Please, use the online form for your order:
