> #27 "Overprinting spot color and process color black"  Only the overprinted
> color is displayed.
>
> #28 "Overprinting process colors only"  Only the overprinted color is
> displayed.

> #34 through #38 These are renderings involving different source color

> issues but may also be impacted by color management.

> I think one goal for v 0.12 should be for poppler to be able to pass all
> (or maybe most) of the above tests.

Koji any input on this?

We (Pino) are working on it :-)
