Validate 2024 PDF layout using production standard

[ronaldtse]

We need to validate our implementation of the 2024 layout against a production standard:

• https://github.com/metanorma/mn-samples-iso-private/blob/main/reference-docs/19152-1_2024.pdf

This is a private copy.

Our implementation of the 2024 layout looks differently:

• page margins

  • rendered PDF
    

  • production standard
    

• header font-size

  • rendered PDF (0.5pt smaller font)
    

  • production standard
    

• copyright font-size

  • rendered PDF
    

  • production standard
    

• main text font-size

  • rendered PDF
    

  • production standard
    

• last page footer

  • rendered PDF
    

  • production standard
    

Our PDF layout was updated in #1079 based on the provided PDF example 2024-iso-new-pdf-layout.pdf "Sample of layout for an International Standard (cover page, back page and internal centered layout)".

@ronaldtse to further actions I have to know exactly - what is the correct PDF - in this issue or in #1079?

Note: the PDF from the initial posts opens in the Chrome browser only. Adobe Acrobat opens it and closes immediately, also Foxit Reader and PDF-XChange Viewer. So I have to repair it somehow.

Adobe Acrobat opens it and closes immediately

I'm seeing the same issue too. I can open it in macOS Preview however.

It is very likely that their "design spec" and implemented production PDF are slightly different.

• blue email vs. www link:

  • rendered PDF:
    

  • production standard:
    

The last link points to https://www.iso.org/.

From metanorma-iso gem boilerplate.adoc:

CH-1214 Vernier, Geneva +
Phone: +41 22 749 01 11 +

copyright@iso.org automatically converts to <link target="mailto:copyright@iso.org"/>, but www.iso.org doesn't.
I need update boilerplate.adoc

To check the whole document I'll encode it in adoc.

• one numbered Note

  • rendered PDF:
    

  • production PDF:
    

The rendered PDF is correct. From https://www.iso.org/sites/directives/current/part2/index.xhtml#_idTextAnchor340:

24.3 Numbering and subdivision
Within a given clause or subclause, notes shall be numbered sequentially. The numbering restarts at each new subdivision. A single note in a subdivision shall not be numbered.

• ordered list numbering - alphabetic vs. arabic:

  • rendered PDF:
    

  • production PDF:
    

From https://www.metanorma.org/author/topics/blocks/lists/#general-2:

• different font size of Note: no difference, just PDF viewer approximation.

  • rendered PDF (a bit smaller):
    
  • production PDF:
    

• wrong baseline when list text contains superscripted text

  • rendered PDF:
    

• there isn't footnotes separator (51mm horizontal line) in the rendered PDF

• indents between footnotes:

  • rendered PDF:
    
  • production PDF:
    

[Intelligent2013]

There is the identical entry in the Normative references and Bibliography:

therefore different identifiers should be used in the adoc:

[bibliography]
== Normative references

* [[[ISO19103,ISO 19103]]], _Geographic information -- Conceptual schema language_
...


[bibliography]
== Bibliography

* [[[ISO19103bib,ISO 19103]]], _Geographic information -- Conceptual schema language_
,..
