> Key: FOP-1814
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-1814
> Project: FOP
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: renderer/pdf
> Affects Versions: trunk
> Environment: Operating System: All
> Platform: All
> Reporter: Jeremias Maerki
>
> 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.
