- pmiller2 7y agoI'm curious why you needed the absolute smallest PDF file for testing? As an intellectual exercise, golfing the PDF format sounds like a bit of fun, but given that https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tests/xhtml/testfiles/resources/pdf/dummy.pdf https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tests/xhtml/testfiles/resources/pd... is 13KB, I would think you could load that in a test suite on pretty much any reasonable, non-embedded platform. And, why would you want to load it on an embedded platform, anyway?
- kadoban 7y agoTesting near/at boundary conditions is generally good practice. A minimal size file could easily catch some cases where your code assumes some sort of structure (some flag, header, metadata structure, etc.) exists when it's possible it actually doesn't.
