Hi,
Is it possible to compare 2 PDF files for content equality using EO PDF? Byte comparison of 2 files fail, even though both the PDFs are generated by EO PDF.

Background: the comparison will be used as part of automated unit testing. During testing, the output PDF from the test will be compared against a reference PDF.

Regards,
Venkat

Hi,

No. There is no way for you to do that. Each PDF file contains some random data blocks that will never be the same even if they are generated from the same source.

Thanks!
