helpful to have a switch that causes pdftex to output deterministic PDF files.
Agreed. (As I recall, another person made the same request not long ago.) I hope we will do this for the next release. Thanks. --karl
One can influence what goes into info, like: % engine=pdftex \starttext \pdfcompresslevel0 \pdfobjcompresslevel0 \pdfinfo{/CreationDate/null} \pdfinfo{/ModDate/null} \pdfinfo{/ID/null} test \stoptext (in context lingua) So, one can also set some constants that way. I see no reason for a patch. Use (...) for a more meaningful value. In fact, one can always replace values like that afterwards with a script as long as the size of the file is kept (last time i did that was over a decade ago).
