You could run $ diff -a test-1a.pdf test-1.pdf instead, because diffs in the binary sections are unlikely in such cases, and it is (relatively) simple to disregard changes in /ID and /CreationDate.
$>for j in `seq 1 4`; do cmp test-1a--$j.ppm test-1--$j.ppm ; done and, again of course, *no differences* because the files are equals page-by-page -- so they are equals
Is there a way more quick and clean than for cycle and ppm files? Any idea ?
If the above command gives noticeable difference, afaik bitmap compares are the only option that is left. Best wishes, Taco
