Right. I tested using faketime, and can confirm that the PDF changes every time. The creationDate according to pdfinfo is also different, apparently it take between 3 and 4 seconds to generate the PDF on my machine. But the PDF checksum changes also when the CreationDate second is same, so there is something else changing too. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
