I don't think this is a safe assumption. Back in February we had a
situation where we generated about 60 PDFs (out of about 150) via
iText that ended up being at least partially corrupted. The error was
ultimately in our code, not iText. I don't recall if we had
exceptions logged in the process. But my point is, don't assume that
because you got output, it's "clean."
