When I have both files under git revision control and committed, a rerun shows no change in the PS but a change in the PDF. I read the rest of this post and your additional post. Thank you for your forensic information. As long as I know what has changed, thanks to you, I am content for the moment. I have a Raku online friend (in CC above) who is an expert on PDF and has built voluminous tools with his PDF modules in Raku. I think he will either know about the problem or possibly know how to fix it since he deals with the binary output and modifying it after the fact. Have a very Happy New Year! Cheers, - Tom P.S. I wasn't aware of vbindiff (or maybe I forgot).
