DIFFPDF(1)
NAME
diffpdf - compare two PDF files textually or visually
SYNOPSIS
diffpdf [file1] [file2]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page very briefly documents the diffpdf command.
DiffPDF is a GUI application used to compare two PDF files.
By default the comparison is of the text on each pair of pages, but
comparing the visual appearance of pages is also supported (for example, if a diagram is changed or if a paragraph is reformatted). It is
also possible to compare particular pages or page ranges. For example,
if there are two versions of a PDF file, one with pages 1-12 and the
other with pages 1-13 because of an extra page having been added as
page 4, they can be compared by specifying two page ranges, 1-12 for
the first and 1-3, 5-13 for the second. This will make DiffPDF compare
pages in the pairs (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 5), (5, 6), and so on,
to (12, 13).
