I am generating .pdfs using PdfSharp in C#. However, each time I generate a new document (in memory), write the same graphics, and save it to disk, the resulting .pdf documents are not byte equivalent.

Are there some properties I could set such that every time I do this, there is no change in the bytes in the file? I basically want to detect a _real_ change (as in, I different XGraphics were written) vs no change.

EDIT:

It appears that the cause of my issue is with the '/FontName/' and '/BaseFont/' lines.

Examples from file 1:
/BaseFont/GVLFRZ+Verdana
/FontName/PQKDZC+Verdana

Same lines in file 2:
/BaseFont/LRPOEC+Verdana,Italic
/FontName/KTKFNL+Verdana,Italic

I'm generating them with the lines:

XFont heading2 = new XFont("Verdana", 18, XFontStyle.Regular);
XFont heading3 = new XFont("Verdana", 16, XFontStyle.Bold);

No. At least not yet.

Some IDs are generated each time and creation date/time also changes. So you need a comparison that takes care of these differences.

Maybe use 3ed-party software to render bitmaps from the PDF and compare the bitmaps for visual differences.

See my edit. I have accounted for document.Info.CreationDate and document.Info.ModificationDate.

Is there a way I can control the prefix on the font families, or have it not output in the saved document? Worst case I could strip them out with regex I suppose.

Yes.
And please only make changes "on topic" when creating a pull request.
