I seem to recall that someone (perhaps David Carlisle, or another
member of the LaTeX team) asked for a way to generate 100%
identical PDF files for the purposes of regression testing, so I
will search back in the archives to see if I can locate the thread
and then add the necessary additional command-line qualifier(s)
required to accomplish this.<br>

<pre wrap="">Thanks for sending me the files.
I verified the provided files and found that there are no problems.
The only difference other than that I mentioned before is how ID
strings are encoded: hex strings or literal PDF strings.
(Sorry I hadn't noticed that such differences can occur)
I don't remember it very well but there is a way to generate the
same IDs for all generated PDF files. By doing so the outputs
should be of the same number of bytes.
Thanks,
