Yes, that's what I meant: we want to test that the PDF file generated by the code is "equivalent" to the baseline, and aside from some metadata in the files, I think "equivalence" should mean that the files generate the same rasterized output on some particular PDF renderer. I suppose Ghostscript is widespread enough that we can assume that it exists in the test environment? Or is there some buildout magic that we should add in some file? -- Jouni K.
