I have been using ps2pdf for many years on a PS source file for a personalized calendar for my wife. This year I have been cleaning up my old Perl generating code (in preparation for converting it to Raku [https://raku.org]) and noticed I am getting a different pdf output for each run, even when the PS output source file is unchanged!
I have looked at the detailed options for ps2pdf and don't see anything that stands out to me when using the default settings. I attempted a comparison of two different pdf outputs by running "od -c file.pdf" on the two outputs but cannot identify anything familiar to me about the differences. My command that runs the actual process is this: $ ps2pdf -dAutoRotatePages=/None file.ps file.pdf I am running on Debian Buster with current updates. Any suggestions to produce constant output pdf for constant ps input are appreciated. Blessings, -Tom
