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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
