Chris Bowditch commented on FOP-2888: ------------------------------------- The fact that you can't unit test is not a bug. This is just a question about how to compare PDFs. I suggest asking on fop-user mailing list for ideas. I am closing this bug > Byte array different each time I generate a PDF > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: FOP-2888 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2888 > Project: FOP > Issue Type: Bug > Components: renderer/pdf > Affects Versions: 2.1 > Reporter: Victor Balta > Priority: Major > > I have been using the FopFactory & FOUserAgent to render a PDF from an xsl & > xml. This is working correctly however I'm running into an issue when writing > my unit test. > I save the output PDF and in my unit test I am doing a render and then doing > a byte[] compare. What I noticed is that the byte array is different each > time I do a render. > When I compare the PDF's I am not able to see anything visually different. > Does anyone know why it is changing each render? > I tried setting the FOUserAgent creation date, but it still shows differences > each render -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
