schestowitz[TR]                                        <p>This turns out to be unexpectedly difficult because you need to check that the files are both syntactically and semantically valid. The former could be tested with existing PDF validators and converters but the latter is more difficult.</p>Mar 01 19:26
schestowitz[TR]                                        <p>If you, say, try to render a red square, the end result should be that the PDF command stream has two commands, a re command and an f command. That could be verified simply by grepping the command stream with some regexps. It would not be very useful, though, as there is no guarantee that those commands actually produce a red square in the output document. There are dozens of ways to make tMar 01 19:26
