Hi, everyone!

I'm using the library to generate PDF. I've found the library
generates different document even if content is absolutely the same. I
examined the library source code and found a reason. This is an ID
field in a trailer of each document. Somewhere inside PdfWriter there
is code:
fileID = PdfEncryption.createInfoId(PdfEncryption.createDocumentId());
and createDocumentId() generates different id based on some random
stuff like milliseconds, etc.

I want to have ability to generate documents which are binary equal if
they have same content, but that random ID prevents it. Is there any
proper way to avoid it? What is that field for? Can I just comment it
out in library source code? Does it break anything? Or maybe is there
better way?
