I filed <URL: https://bugs.debian.org/828220 > and it have a proposal
for fixing the PDF creationDate.  But Sunil is right, this do not solve
the problem completely, as the included images are also presenting a
reproducability problem.  This issue is reported in
<URL: https://bugs.debian.org/796490 >.

A workaround is to use JPEGs instead. :)
