Hi :)
Do you know if it isn't?
no.
the conclusion?
I wouldn't assume I could depend on its results without further
investigation. that's why I asked the OP why this particular test
instrument.
I think it's a good idea to check the integrity of Pdfs that are
output.
sure.
often we focus tooo much (imo) on the integrity of MS formats which
will always look different on every machine. People seem to be using
Pdfs quite a lot more now and it would be nice to know that ones we
create work properly, or at least consistently.
we also need to know our pdf readers work properly or at least
consistently.

If specific potential problems can be pinned down then i think we
are in a better position to have more confidence in our outputs.
Bear in mind that Pdf output is significantly better in LibreOffice
than in MSO. LO offers far more options and some of those improve
accessibility (specifically better for screen-readers) and for
uncompressed or more compressed output. MSO offers freedom FROM
choice.

Hello!
Thanks for this idea. I report a bug related to LibreOffice.
I guess, there must be something different if DiffPDF says the two PDF files
are different. (maybe visible in Document Viewer (Evince) or in Adobe Reader)
I look for that difference and report the bug accordingly.
(to repeat the question) you are certain diffpdf is reliable?

Hi!
Recently, I started learning more about computer software. (I am new and I do
not know too much about programming.)
I do not know how to rate the quality of the office application.
If I say this is good, I will expect that the document is displayed in the _same_ way, e.g. in the previous version and the next version and the subsequent version and the future versions.
I spent some time on doing (experimenting?) this. I searched the Internet and
looked for OpenDocument files I can download. They are random (just searched by
some random keywords).
I did:
LibreOffice 3
File -> Export as PDF -> PDF/A-1a -> Export
LibreOffice 4
File -> Export as PDF -> PDF/A-1a -> Export
There were tens of files. I used DiffPDF to compare the differences. If I
notice a difference, I will report a bug.
[...]
do you report a bug about LO or a bug about DiffPDF?

According to all the latest reports, there was no truth in any of the
