Compare PDF

Compare two PDF copies: inspect them beside one another to decide which page text changed. It is a visual check, so no output file is created.

A practical guide

Check two versions without altering either file.

  1. Select two PDFs that meet the per-file limits.
  2. Inspect matching pages and their visible text in the comparison view.
  3. Keep your own notes and continue with the chosen original PDF.

Try this example

Compare two five-page client summaries under 10 MB each. Review the scope paragraph on page 2 and the totals on page 4; note any change yourself because no automated diff is run.

Before

  • Original PDF
  • Revised PDF

After

  • Side-by-side pages
  • Extracted text
Input and expected output for this task. Illustrative example.

Before you start: This comparison creates no output PDF and does not automatically identify changes.

Inspect PDF metadata
What you get

View two PDFs side by side and compare their extracted text. This does not automatically identify visual or semantic differences.

Limits and important details

Local limits: Max files: 2 / Max single file: 10 MB / Max pages: 6

Two PDFs, each up to 10 MB and 6 pages; 4 MP rendered page limit and 100,000 extracted text characters per page. This is a local side-by-side review of pages and extracted text. It does not run OCR, download a combined result, or automatically detect visual or semantic differences.

Example

Choose two PDFs, each no larger than 10 MB and six pages. Inspect corresponding page renderings and visible text side by side, and note any differences yourself. This is not automatic diffing and creates no converted output PDF.
