See my other comments, sure you need to make sure your code works,
but you need to do that in any case- I think I mentioned getting all your info 
from
the db, including dates presumably. Producing a signature from the pixels
would seem to be one approach ( store 128 byte signature in your DB from
the originally generated pixels and make sure you get the same thing
from your recreated document. ).  If you generated 50000 pages with the same
font, it may make sense to just store that once somewhere.

Well, everyone wants to have confidence in the end result.
