As Dave mentioned – the smaller size PDF, you can select this joboption in the conversion dialog box if you have the original word etc. This will automatically make maximum part of the work for you.

So, try to keep the smaller size since the beginning of the PDF creation will not give you a lot of trouble later. You can also create some small thumnails of images and insert them into the original document before conversion. Try to compress or resize them outside the document and then finally insert.

For example: If the image is x and you want only 50 x 50 in the PDF document. If you resize them in the document itself, they will always be containing the size of the original.

Alongside this, try downsampling images at 72 dpi using optimization PDF Acrobat and use images poster rather than the videos. These images can having links pointed out the videos on the website.

Was there any way to make this handle column breaks? Without it one change cascades into several. Many characters are missing from the text versions of the PDFs shown in the WinMerge diff windows — cja.

DiffPDF is the most advanced tool presented here, in my opinion. Not only does it offer a nice graphical comparison, but it tracks changes more cleverly than others, e. However, it has one serious problem: It limits the comparison to pages. That means, if you have some text on page 2 of document A, but this text moves to page 3 in document B, then the tool thinks its gone in A and added in B. The older free versions can be found here — Shafik Yaghmour.

I tried using this for a novel that I export to PDF. Unfortunately the tool lost track after around 10 pages and considered everything to be “different”, even though large passages were exactly the same. Show 6 more comments. I recently found this and I love it. Here is a screenshot of diff-pdf in action – note that the text is not different in the PDF, but only fonts and correspondingly, layout settings : The call to obtain that image was: diff-pdf –view testA. Just one more note about diff-pdf : DiffPDF is great for quick visual side-by-side comparison of changed text, but it is practically impossible to debug stuff like, say, small changes in line spacing – diff-pdf on the other hand, basically puts the page contents from both compared files on the same page but with different color – so line spacing problems can be easily identified This is great!

Is there anyway to track progress on large files when outputting to a PDF file not using the –view option? Also when you run the command to generate a compare PDF it runs in a separate process so it does not pause the command prompt like normally happens when you execute something from the prompt. This is the one I needed. I’m comparing PDF reports about numeric executions, so I’m looking for differences in one digit in a whole page.

Problem is, I can not identify the cyan characters, but knowing where the difference is, is enough to find it in the original reports. Note that diff-pdf is great for comparing spatially-sensitive images like technical drawings.

It highlights the changed pixels of blueprints or schematics or graphs that have identical scaling, such as revisions of the same design. It’s written in Java, so it’s cross-platform. Nice bit of software. I couldn’t get this to work. Loaded the two files and clicked on the compare button and nothing happens. Correctly handles cross page differences. Different comparison profiles including custom. Mouse over gives you more details on what changed.

Looks great. Definitely superior to the tools higher voted IMO. JonathanGawrych thanks for the kind words! What do you mean by “moves”, exactly? Maybe we could add that functionality Show 1 more comment. I wanted to do this diff PDFs recently with these requirements: ignore whitespace, line breaks, page breaks, etc.

If you’re using Windows, Mac, Fedora, openSUSE or you’re capable of compiling the binaries from source for your system, diff-pdf is a better solution that accomplishes this without needing to install three different dependencies.

Not to be confused with diffpdf mentioned in another answer, which functions via GUI only. Note that the pc-script. It would be great if the script could strip the html of what is not text. In my case I get a lot of random circles where there are figures. Babak Farrokhi. Acrobat or Acrobat Reader?
