Do you have an advice on automated
testing for images and PDFs? I must generate TIFF, JPEG, PDF, etc. by merging database records, text files, format files, and other images. All the
JUnit testing I can think to are things like size, depth, and dpi, things that are done by the 3rd party libraries and not by me. I have to check my code's results manually: Is the right font used? Is the text or image correctly placed? Are things scaled correctly on the page? Any ideas or libraries for automating more of that would be appreciated.
