QUALITYLOGIC INTRODUCES THE PDF 1.7 FUNCTIONAL TEST SUITE WILL BE DEMONSTRATED AT DRUPA 2008
Sunday 08. June 2008 - QualityLogic (www.qualitylogic.com), a provider of leading-edge QA and QC test tools and services for the imaging and telecom industries, launched its new PDF 1.7 Functional Test Suite (PDF 1.7 FTS) today. The PDF 1.7 FTS tests the breadth of PDF imaging operators using structured, easily understandable test cases.
Portable Document Format (PDF) is the predominant cross-platform document format used by business and personal applications. PDF is used by viewing applications, such as Acrobat Reader, and is also a print-ready format that precisely describes output destined for a variety of output devices.
Consisting of over 600 test cases, the PDF 1.7 FTS helps printer manufacturers and developers of software that consumes PDF assess conformance of their products to PDF requirements. During test development, QualityLogic has already uncovered errors in popular PDF programs by using the PDF 1.7 FTS test files.
The PDF 1.7 Functional Test Suite offers these benefits:
Tests the breadth of imaging operators in PDF 1.0 -1.7
Structured, easy-to-understand test cases
Quick, easy bug isolation
Supports QualityLogics new automation test platforms
“The PDF 1.7 FTS is ideal for companies that need to test each attribute of PDF in a structured way. It complements our PDF InteropAnalyzer, which provides more real-world testing,” said Dave Jollota, president of QualityLogics Imaging Test Solutions Group. “Because the product is designed to test as many PDF imaging operators as possible, it provides great coverage of PDF. And when combined with QualityLogics soon-to-be-released automation tools for building targeted test suites and sending and managing these tests, the PDF 1.7 FTS gives customers the most powerful PDF test solution on the market today.”
The PDF 1.7 FTS is complemented by QualityLogics PDF 1.7 InteropAnalyzer Plus, a PDF-centric product allows users to quickly and easily search a database of thousands of PDF files for user-specified characteristics. It is especially helpful in delving deeper and testing a printers handling of real-world PDF files more rigorously.
