Summary
diff-pdf is a command line tool for visually comparing two PDFs.
Description
diff-pdf is a tool for visually comparing two PDFs.
It takes two PDF files as arguments. By default, its only output is its return
code, which is 0 if there are no differences and 1 if the two PDFs differ. If
given the --output-diff option, it produces a PDF file with visually
highlighted differences:
$ diff-pdf --output-diff=diff.pdf a.pdf b.pdf
Another option is to compare the two files visually in a simple GUI, using
the --view argument:
$ diff-pdf --view a.pdf b.pdf
This opens a window that lets you view the files’ pages and zoom in on details. It is also possible to shift the two pages relatively to each other using Ctrl-arrows (Cmd-arrows on MacOS). This is useful for identifying translation-only differences.
See the output of $ diff-pdf --help for complete list of options.
