Summary: Option to make PDF binary equal between runs (for
Apache Forrest)
Product: Fop
Version: 1.0dev
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: pdf
AssignedTo: fop-dev@xmlgraphics.apache.org
ReportedBy: jerem...@apache.org
FOP currently always creates a file ID in the PDF trailer even though it's
optional. It is required mostly be PDF/A and PDF/X. It may make sense to
disable the generation via a configuration item. We probably shouldn't disable
it by default because some people may rely on it by now.
Second, the metadata date is always set to the current date even if it is given
in an XMP packet. That also prohibits binary equality.
Adding this would allow Forrest to produce the same PDFs from run to run so
they don't cause SVN diffs all the time.
